Heavy weyl fermion state in CeRu4Sn6

Abstract

A new type of topological state in strongly correlated condensed matter systems, the heavyWeyl fermion state, has been found in a heavy fermion material, CeRu4Sn6, which has no inversion symmetry. Two different types of Weyl points, types I and II, can be found in the quasiparticle band structure obtained by the LDA + Gutzwiller calculations, which can treat the strong correlation effects among the f electrons from cerium atoms. The surface calculations indicate that the topologically protected Fermi arc states exist on the (010) but not on the (001) surface.
