研究目的
Investigating the electronic states of a topological nodal line semimetal in the single-component molecular conductor [Pd(dddt)2] using first-principles density-functional theory calculations.
研究成果
The study successfully identified a non-coplanar nodal loop in [Pd(dddt)2] and developed an effective Hamiltonian model that describes the electronic states near the nodal line. The model provides a new method for analyzing topological nodal line semimetals and is useful for future calculations of transport properties.
研究不足
The study did not include the effects of spin–orbit coupling (SOC), which could destroy the loop degeneracies and lead to an energy gap. The model's applicability to extended regions beyond the nodal line and the quantitative reproduction of energy dispersion from the effective Hamiltonian are areas for further optimization.
