Abstract
We investigate a hybrid-order Weyl semimetal (HOWS) constructed by stacking the two-dimensional kagome lattice with staggered magnetic flux. By adjusting the magnitude of flux, higher-order topological phases are tunably intertwined with the first-order topological Chern insulators, which is governed by the evolution of Weyl points. Meanwhile the surface Fermi arcs undergo topological Lifshitz transition. Notably, due to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry (TRS), a novel split of a quadratic double Weyl point occurs, giving rise to additional three type-II Weyl points hybridizing with one type-I node. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in realizing high-Chern-number phases with C=±2 and reveals a new mechanism for the emergence of type-II Weyl fermions in topological kagome semimetals. We anticipate that this study will stimulate further investigation into the unique physics of kagome materials and Weyl semimetals.
