Candidate Elastic Quantum Critical Point in ${LaCu}_{6 - x} {Au}_{x}$

Journal Article Poudel, Lekh ; May, Andrew F. ; Koehler, Michael R. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

In this paper, the structural properties of LaCu _6-xAu _x are studied using neutron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, and heat capacity measurements. The continuous orthorhombic-monoclinic structural phase transition in LaCu ₆ is suppressed linearly with Au substitution until a complete suppression of the structural phase transition occurs at the critical composition x _c=0.3. Heat capacity measurements at low temperatures indicate residual structural instability at x _c. The instability is ferroelastic in nature, with density functional theory calculations showing negligible coupling to electronic states near the Fermi level. Finally, the data and calculations presented here are consistent with the zero temperature terminationmore »« less

Topological semimetal to insulator quantum phase transition in the Zintl compounds $B a_{2} X (X = Si, Ge)$

Journal Article Zhu, Ziming ; Li, Mingda ; Li, Ju - Physical Review B

By first-principles calculations, we find that Ba ₂X (X = Si, Ge) hosts a topological semimetal phase with one nodal ring in the k _x = 0 plane, which is protected by the glide mirror symmetry when spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is ignored. The corresponding drumheadlike surface flat band appears on the (100) surface in surface Green's function calculation. Furthermore, a topological-semimetal-to-insulator transition is found. The nodal line semimetal would evolve into a topological insulator as SOC is turned on. The topologically protected metallic surface states emerge around the Γ point, which could be tuned into the topologically trivial insulator statemore »« less
