• Abstract: Experiments identified Co3Sn2S2 as the first magnetic Weyl semimetal (MWSM). Using first-principles calculation with a global optimization approach, we explore the structural stabilities and topological electronic properties of cobalt (Co-based shandite and alloys, Co3MM-X2 (M/M-=Ge, Sn, Pb, X=S, Se, Te), and identify new stable structures with new Weyl phases. Using a tight-binding model, for the first time, we reveal that the physical origin of the nodal lines of a Co-based shandite structure is the interlayer coupling between Co atoms in different Kagome layers, while the number of Weyl points and their types are mainly governed by the interaction between Co and the metal atoms, Sn, Ge, and Pb. The Co3SnPbS2 alloy exhibits two distinguished topological phases, depending on the relative positions of the Sn and Pb atoms: a three-dimensional quantum anomalous Hall metal, and a MWSM phase with anomalous Hall conductivity (~1290) that is larger than that of Co2Sn2S2. Our work reveals the physical mechanism of the origination of Weyl fermions in Co-based shandite structures and proposes new topological quantum states with high thermal stability.

  Van der Waals (vdW) magnets have opened a new avenue of novel opportunities covering various interesting phases. Co2/3TaS2-an intercalated metallic vdW antiferromagnet-is one of the latest important additions to the growing list of materials. Careful bulk characterisations have shown the ground state of CoxTaS2 to be a rare 3Q tetrahedral structure for x less than 1/3.

  We develop a functional formulation for a bosonic atomic-molecular mixture with Feshbach coupling in three-spatial dimensions. We establish a rich ground-state phase diagram, which features three regions: molecular superfluid (MSF), atomic-molecular superfluid (AMSF), and phase separation (PS) Strikingly, we show that the sound velocity vanishes as the AMSF phase touches on the border of phase separation lines.

  We have demonstrated controlling the otherwise robust magnetic properties of transition metal phosphorus trisulphides (Mn/Fe/NiPS3) in their heterostructures with Weyl semimetallic MoTe2. The effect of DM interaction strongly varies with the spin orientation/dimensionality of the magnetic layer and the low-energy electronic density of state of the spin-orbit coupled layer.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

  We predict several phases in two novel unconventional superconductors, strontium-substituted lanthanum cuprate and triplet superconductor strontium ruthenate. In the case of the strontium-substituted lanthanum cuprate, it was found three phases from one family of Wigner probabilistic distributions. In the case of the triplet superconductor strontium ruthenate, three phases can be differentiated from two families of Wigner distribution probabilities.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
