Abstract : 


Topology and electron correlation are two key ingredients in quantum materials producing novel electronic properties and phases yet-to-be-discovered. Of particular interest are topological nodal-line materials that host unique quasiparticles near the one-dimensional band-degeneracy in the momentum space and exhibit unusual transport properties, highly sensitive to electromagnetic perturbations. In this talk, I will present unusual magnetotransport properties of nodal-line fermions when they are isolated from topologically trivial electronic states, strongly correlated, or coupled to magnetic moments. Various magnetotransport phenomena will be discussed, including a giant anomalous Hall effect [1], a colossal angular magnetoresistance [2,3], significantly enhanced weak antilocalization [4], and an electric-field-driven metal-insulator transition [5]. These findings highlight that topological nodal-line materials represent a promising material platform for developing unprecedented functionalities with potential applications in next-generation electronic and spintronic devices.
