Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that the monolayer AuTe2Cl is a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator with a topological band gap about 10 meV. The three-dimensional (3D) AuTe2Cl is a topological semimetal that can be viewed as the monolayer stacking along [Formula: see text] axis. By studying the energy-level distribution of [Formula: see text] orbitals of Te atoms for the bulk and the monolayer, we find that the confinement effect driven [Formula: see text] band inversion is responsible for the topological nontrivial nature of monolayer. Since 3D bulk AuTe2Cl has already been experimentally synthesized, we expect that monolayer AuTe2Cl can be exfoliated from a bulk sample and the predicted QSH effect can be observed.

Abstract Hydrodynamic fluidity in condensed matter physics has been experimentally demonstrated only in a limited number of compounds because of the stringent conditions that must be satisfied. Herein, we demonstrate the existence of hydrodynamic-like properties driven by the collective excitation of the Dirac fluid in the three-dimensional topological semimetal ZrTe5. By measuring the electrical and thermal properties in a wide temperature range, we find a regime satisfying phononic hydrodynamic-like characteristics with two representative experimental evidences: a faster evolution of the thermal conductivity than in the ballistic regime and the existence of a local maximum of the effective mean free path. In contrast to phononic hydrodynamics, the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated by about a factor of 100. Moreover, phonon-dragged anomalies are observed, which serve as a signature of the Dirac fluidity in this system.

With the emergence of Dirac fermion physics in the field of condensed matter, magnetic quantum oscillations (MQOs) have been used to discern the topology of orbits in Dirac materials. However, many previous researchers have relied on the single-orbit Lifshitz–Kosevich (LK) formula, which overlooks the significant effect of degenerate orbits on MQOs. Since the single-orbit LK formula is valid for massless Dirac semimetals with small cyclotron masses, it is imperative to generalize the method applicable to a wide range of Dirac semimetals, whether massless or massive. This report demonstrates how spin-degenerate orbits affect the phases in MQOs of three-dimensional massive Dirac semimetal, NbSb2. With varying the direction of the magnetic field, an abrupt π phase shift is observed due to the interference between the spin-degenerate orbits. We investigate the effect of cyclotron mass on the π phase shift and verify its close relation to the phase from the Zeeman coupling. We find that the π phase shift occurs when the cyclotron mass is half of the electron mass, indicating the effective spin gyromagnetic ratio as gs = 2. Our approach is not only useful for analyzing MQOs of massless Dirac semimetals with a small cyclotron mass but also can be used for MQOs in massive Dirac materials with degenerate orbits, especially in topological materials with a sufficiently large cyclotron mass. Furthermore, this method provides a useful way to estimate the precise gs value of the material.
