Search for magnetic Weyl semimetal in Eu3PbO

DOI

Materials with nontrivial topological properties (analogous in a general way to the familiar Moebius strip) are a hot topic in current solid state physics. In particular new materials showing different classes of topologically nontrivial electronic states are intensively searched for. Our calculations predict that the inverse perovskite Eu3PbO may display a new type of Weyl point in the electronic structure (namely a 'magnetic Weyl point') brought about by different structural and magnetic properties than in previously discovered Weyl systems. By looking at the details of the magnetism in Eu3PbO using WISH we will be able to confirm whether the predictions of our calculations are correct. This will be critical in determining whether Eu3PbO is the first material to be discovered to contain a 'magnetic Weyl point' and will have important consequences for this very active research field.
