摘要：
Analogues of the elementary particles have been extensively searched for in the condensed-matter systems for both scientific interest and technological applications. For example, the Weyl fermions and Dirac fermions have been predicted and observed in real material candidates. In this talk, I will expand the notion of the Dirac fermions into the antiferromagnetic (AFM) system and propose the real material candidates. Our results provide a possible platform to study the interplay between the Dirac fermion physics and magnetism. Then, I will show that new fermions beyond the Dirac and Weyl models, such as such as spin-1 excitations with 3-fold degeneracy and spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger-Weyl fermions could coexist with type-I and type-II Weyl fermions in a family of transition metal silicides, including CoSi, RhSi, RhGe and CoGe, when the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is considered. This work not only identifies a series of desired robust topological semimetal candidates but also provides an ideal platform to explore exotic physical phenomena and future device applications. Furthermore, (If I still have time) I will introduce our recent works about the machine-learning algorithm (Atom2Vec) for the material discovery.
