摘 要:Node line band-touchings protected by mirror symmetry(named as m-NLs),the product of inversion and time reversal symmetry S=PT(named as s-NLs),or nonsymmorphic symmetry are nontrivial topological objects of topological semimetals in the Brillouin *** this work,we screened a family of MgSrSi-type crystals using first principles calculations,and discovered that more than 70 members are node-line semimetals.A new type of multi-loop structure was found in AsRhTi that a s-NL touches robustly with a m-NL at some“nexus point,and in the meanwhile a second m-NL crosses with the s-NL to form a *** the previously proposed Hopf-link formed by two s-NLs or two m-NLs,a Hopf-link formed by a s-NL and a m-NL requires a minimal three-band model to characterize its essential electronic *** associated topological surface states on different surfaces of AsRhTi crystal were also *** more complicated and exotic multi-loop structure of NLs were predicted in AsFeNb and *** work may shed light on search for exotic multi-loop node-line semimetals in real materials.
