内容摘要:Topological nodal line semimetals (NLSs) are characterized by the crossing of the conduction and valence bands along closed loops in the Brillouin zone, which carries a π Berry flux. The topological property of the bulk states results in unique drumhead-like surface states. In this talk, I will present our recent work on new topological phase and quantum transport in NLSs. I will first show that electron-electron interaction in the NLS with two drumhead-like surface states can drive the surface states into a surface Chern insulator. Then I will discuss interesting transport results of both the surface and bulk states of the NLSs. The surface states in a spin-orbit coupled NLS exhibit spin polarization and can induce resonant spin-flipped reflection, which provides a unique evidence of the surface states. For the bulk states, we find that the torus-shaped Fermi surface and encircled π Berry flux carried by the nodal loop result in a fascinating interplay between the effective dimensionality of electron diffusion and band topology, which may lead to 3D weak localization effect or 2D weak antilocalization effect.
