Our paper on charge order induced Dirac pockets in the nonsymmorphic crystal TaTe₄ appeared in PRB today!

Crystalline symmetries are known for enforcing topological crossings in electronic band structure. In our research article, “Charge order induced Dirac pockets in the nonsymmorphic crstal TaTe₄“, published today in Phys. Rev. B., we directly visualize the near-E_F Dirac pockets through angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, agreeing well with the first-principles calculations carried out in the charge order (CO) state. The folded bands also indicate that the electrons near the Fermi level obey the CO-dictated crystalline symmetries to host unconventional eightfold Dirac fermions.

Congratulations to everyone who involved!
