The topology of line nodes Band structure degeneracies in topological materials can take the form of lines or even chains of interconnected loops. Wu et al. study theoretically these nodal lines and how they evolve as the system parameters are varied. They focus on a class of materials that have weak spin-orbit coupling and that respect a combination of inversion- and time-reversal symmetry. Noncommutative topological charges are associated with nodal lines in such materials that place… Expand

• 2021
This work opens the door towards characterization and manipulation of non-Abelian topological charges, which may lead to interesting observables such as trajectory-dependent Dirac/Weyl node collisions in two-dimensional systems, admissible nodal line configurations in three dimensions, and may provide insight into certain strongly correlated phases of twisted bilayer graphene.
