Zusammenfassung: | There is considerable interest in the intersection of correlations and
topology, especially in metallic systems. Among the outstanding questions are
how strong correlations drive novel topological states and whether such states
can be readily controlled. Here we study the effect of a Zeeman coupling on a
Weyl-Kondo semimetal in a nonsymmorphic and noncentrosymmetric Kondo-lattice
model. A sequence of distinct and topologically nontrivial semimetal regimes
are found, each containing Kondo-driven and Fermi-energy-bound Weyl nodes. The
nodes annihilate at a magnetic field that is smaller than what it takes to
suppress the Kondo effect. As such, we demonstrate an extreme topological
tunability that is isolated from the tuning of the strong correlations per se.
Our results are important for experiments in strongly correlated systems, and
set the stage for mapping out a global phase diagram for strongly correlated
topology. |
