Abstract
We report two theoretical discoveries for Z(2) topological metals and semimetals. It is shown first that any dimensional Z(2) Fermi surface is topologically equivalent to a Fermi point. Then the famous conventional no-go theorem, which was merely proven before for Z Fermi points in a periodic system without any discrete symmetry, is generalized so that the total topological charge is zero for all cases. Most remarkably, we find and prove an unconventional strong no-go theorem: all Z(2) Fermi points have the same topological charge ν(Z(2))=1 or 0 for periodic systems. Moreover, we also establish all six topological types of Z(2) models for realistic physical dimensions.
