Zusammenfassung: | Dirac semimetals are renowned for the host of singular symmetry-protected
band degeneracies which can give rise to other exotic phases. In this work, we
consider a two-dimensional Dirac semimetal stabilized by PT symmetry and
nonsymmorphic symmetries. We find that an out-of-plane Zeeman field can lift
the Dirac points and transform the system into a Chern insulator with chiral
edge states. By placing the nonsymmorphic Dirac semimetal in proximity to an
s-wave superconductor, we uncover that chiral topological superconductors with
large Chern numbers can be achieved. In addition, we find that
topologically-protected Bogoliubov Fermi surface can also emerge in this
system, due to the coexistence of inversion symmetry and particle-hole
symmetry. Notably, we find that the chiral Majorana edge state persists even
when the Chern number becomes ill-defined due to the appearance of Bogoliubov
Fermi surfaces. The impact of these Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces on the thermal
Hall effects is also investigated. Our study not only identifies a class of
materials capable of realizing topological Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces through
conventional s-wave superconductivity, but also uncovers an exotic phase where
chiral Majorana edge states and Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces coexist. |
