Abstract Trisodium bismuthide (Na3Bi) is the first experimentally verified topological Dirac
semimetal, and is a 3D analogue of graphene hosting relativistic Dirac fermions. Its …

Recently, the gapless Dirac/Weyl nodal semimetals with linear dispersion and topologically
protected modes degeneracy have been rapidly growing frontiers of topological physics …

The bottom-up synthesis process often allows the growth of metastable phase nanowires
instead of the thermodynamically stable phase. Herein, we synthesized Cd3As2 nanowires …

Motivated by unique topological semimetals in condensed matter physics, we propose an
effective Hamiltonian with four degrees of freedom to describe evolutions of photonic double …

Topoelectrical (TE) circuits consisting of capacitors and inductors can be designed to exhibit
various Weyl semimetal (WSM) phases in their admittance dispersion. We consider a TE …

In Weyl semimetals, there is an intriguing possibility of realizing a pseudo-magnetic field in
the presence of small strain due to certain special cases of static deformations. This pseudo …

Topological semimetal nanowires in proximity with s-wave superconductors are promising
for Majorana-based topological quantum computers. To braid the Majorana modes, an …

Magnetotransport measurements are carried out on nanowires of the Dirac semimetal Cd 3
As 2. Weak antilocalization is observed at 1.9 K, consistent with the presence of strong spin …

Topological materials such as topological insulators and Weyl/Dirac semimetals possess
topologically protected surface states giving birth to various unique phenomena and …

After the introduction in Ch. 1, we introduce in Ch. 2 the fundamental concepts of
superconductivity and the emergence of the Josephson effect when two superconducting …
