报告摘要：
Over the past decade, topological materials—in which the topology of electron bands in the bulk material leads to robust, unconventional surface states and electromagnetism—have attracted much attention. We apply our recently developed, highly efficient topological materials (TMs) discovery algorithm using symmetry indicators [1], to all suitable nonmagnetic compounds in all 230 possible space groups, and reveals thousands of candidate topological materials [1,2,3]. We also explore the possible 2D TMs in all non-magnetic compounds in four recently proposed materials databases for possible 2D materials, and identify hundreds of 2D TM candidates, including 205 topological (crystalline) insulators and 299 topological semimetals [4]. We also give exhaustive list of all topological hourglass band crossings in band structure [5]. Finally, we propose several magnetic TMs, including filling-enforced magnetic topological metals [6] and correlation driven topological insulator-to-Weyl semimetal transition in UNiSn [7].
