To date, a handful of topological semimetals (TMs) with multiple types of topological nodal line (TNL) states have been theoretically predicted in novel materials. However, their TNLs are often affected by many factors, such as spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect, strain, and the extraneous bands near the band crossing points, and therefore, the TNL states cannot be easily verified by experiments. Here, by using first-principles calculations, we report that the Pnma LiBH is a potential TM with twofold and quadruple degenerate topological nodal lines. These TNLs situate very close to the Fermi level, and do not coexist with other extraneous bands. More importantly, the TNLs of this material are very robust to the effect of SOC, uniform strain, and biaxial strain. The nontrivial band structure in LiBH produces drum-head-like surface states in the (001) surface projection. Our result reveals that LiBH material is an excellent candidate to study the multiple kinds of TNLs.

Temperature dependence of magnetic and thermal properties of chiral HyFe and HyMn close to phase transitions by using the Landau mean field model Tari, Ozlem; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-15) Magnetic and thermal properties of chiral metal formate frameworks (MOFs) of NH2NH3M(HCOO)(3), M = Fe, Mn, namely, HyFe and HyMn are investigated close to phase transitions by using Landau phenomenological model. By expanding the free energy in terms of the order parameter, for magnetic properties the temperature dependence of magnetization and inverse magnetic susceptibility, and for thermal properties the heat capacity and entropy are calculated for chiral HyFe and HyMn close to phase transitions using th...
Harnessing molecular excited states with Lanczos chains Baroni, Stefano; Gebauer, Ralph; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Saad, Yousef; Umari, Paolo; Xian, Jiawei (IOP Publishing, 2010-02-24) The recursion method of Haydock, Heine and Kelly is a powerful tool for calculating diagonal matrix elements of the resolvent of quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian operators by elegantly expressing them in terms of continued fractions. In this paper we extend the recursion method to off-diagonal matrix elements of general (possibly non-Hermitian) operators and apply it to the simulation of molecular optical absorption and photoemission spectra within time-dependent density-functional and many-body perturbation ...
Thermal lattice scattering mobility and carrier effective mass in intrinsic Tl2InGaTe4 single crystals Qasrawi, A. F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2007-04-18) Systematic structural, dark electrical resistivity and Hall coefficient measurements have been carried out on n- type Tl2InGaTe4 single crystals. The data from x- ray powder diffraction allowed determination of the tetragonal unit cell lattice parameters. Analysis of the electrical resistivity and carrier concentration, which was recorded in the temperature range 210 - 350 K, reveals the intrinsic type of conduction with an average energy band gap of 0.85 eV. The temperature- dependent Hall mobility was obs...
Circumferentially cracked bimaterial hollow cylinder under mechanical and transient thermal loading Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2006-12-01) The analytical solution for the problem of a circumferential inner surface crack in an elastic, infinitely long composite hollow cylinder, made of two concentric perfectly bonded transversely isotropic cylinders is considered. Uniform axial loading and thermal loading in the form of a sudden cooling on the inner boundary are considered. Out of 10 material parameters involved, two bimaterial parameters and three material parameters for each layer upon which the stress intensity factor depends under uniform l...
NONLINEARITY, DISSIPATION AND TRANSPORT IN A MOLECULAR TRIMER GULEN, D; BASKAL, S (IOP Publishing, 1993-02-15) This study investigates the effects of dissipation on the quasi-particle transport in a degenerate molecular trimer in which the time evolution is described by the discrete non-linear Schrodinger equation. The standard procedure of introducing dissipation as a phase-destroying stochastic parameter through the corresponding Liouville-von Neumann equation is employed. A dosed second-order integrodifferential equation describing the time evolution of the site occupation probability difference is derived in the...
