Crystalline symmetries play an important role in the classification of band structures, and their richness leads to various topological crystalline phases. On the basis of our recently developed method for the efficient discovery of topological materials using symmetry indicators, we explore topological materials in five space groups ( s), which are diagnosed by large-order symmetry indicators (ℤ and ℤ) and support the coexistence of several kinds of gapless boundary states in a single compound. We predict many candidate materials; some representatives include PtGe ( ), graphite ( ), Pt ( , = Sn, Pb), AuTi ( ), and TiSn ( ). As by-products, we also find that AgF ( , = Rb, Cs) and AgAs ( , = Sr, Ba) are good Dirac semimetals with clean Fermi surfaces. The proposed materials provide a good platform for studying the novel properties emerging from the interplay between different types of boundary states.
晶体对称性在能带结构分类中起着重要作用,其丰富性导致了各种拓扑晶体相。基于我们最近开发的利用对称性指标高效发现拓扑材料的方法,我们探索了五个空间群中的拓扑材料,这些空间群由高阶对称性指标(ℤ和ℤ)诊断,并支持在单一化合物中几种无隙边界态的共存。我们预测了许多候选材料;一些代表包括PtGe( )、石墨( )、Pt( , = Sn、Pb)、AuTi( )和TiSn( )。作为副产品,我们还发现AgF( , = Rb、Cs)和AgAs( , = Sr、Ba)是具有干净费米面的良好狄拉克半金属。所提出的材料为研究不同类型边界态之间相互作用产生的新特性提供了一个良好的平台。
