报告内容： Topological semimetals, characterized by Weyl/Dirac nodes in the bulk and Fermi arcs on the surfaces, are new states of three-dimensional (3D) quantum matters, different from topological insulators. Weyl nodes are stable topological objects, and can be viewed as effective magnetic monopoles in the 3D momentum space. Its time-reversal invariant version ---- 3D Dirac node, however, consists of two copies of distinct Weyl nodes with opposite chirality, and requires additional symmetry protection, such as the crystal symmetry. Novel properties, such as negative magneto-resistance and non-local transport, can be expected for such semimetals, due to the presence of chiral anomaly. Recently, several Dirac semimetal (Na3Bi and Cd3As2) and Weyl semimetal (HgCr2Se4 and TaAs) compounds have been predicted and experimentally verified. In this talk, I will review the theoretical progress with focus on the predictive roles of first-principles calculations in this field. Some recent experimental progress will be also addressed.
