Dissipationless transport signature of topological nodal lines.

ABSTRACT: Topological materials, such as topological insulators or semimetals, usually not only reveal the non-trivial properties of their electronic wavefunctions through the appearance of stable boundary modes, but also through very specific electromagnetic responses. The anisotropic longitudinal magnetoresistance of Weyl semimetals, for instance, carries the signature of the chiral anomaly of Weyl fermions. However for topological nodal line semimetals-materials where the valence and conduction bands cross each other on one-dimensional curves in the three-dimensional Brillouin zone-such a characteristic has been lacking. Here we report the discovery of a peculiar charge transport effect generated by topological nodal lines in trigonal crystals: a dissipationless transverse signal in the presence
