説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Combining first-principles calculations and effective model analysis, we predict that CaTe is a topological node-line semimetal in the absence of the spin-orbit coupling. Using a slab model, we obtain the nearly flat <jats:italic>drumhead</jats:italic> surface state near the Fermi level. When the spin-orbit coupling is included, three node lines will evolve into a pair of Dirac points along the <jats:italic>M</jats:italic>−<jats:italic>R</jats:italic> line. These Dirac points are robust and protected by the <jats:italic>C</jats:italic><jats:sub>4</jats:sub> rotation symmetry. Once this crystal symmetry is broken, the Dirac points will be eliminated, and the system becomes a strong topological insulator.</jats:p>
