Higher-order Weyl semimetals
We investigate higher-order Weyl semimetals (HOWSMs) having bulk Weyl nodes attached
to both surface and hinge Fermi arcs. We identify a new type of Weyl node, which we dub a …

Higher-order topological odd-parity superconductors
Z Yan - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The topological property of a gapped odd-parity superconductor is jointly determined by its
pairing nodes and Fermi surfaces in the normal state. We reveal that the contractibility of …
