TI - Topological properties and self-energy effects in elemental Yb JO - Physical review / B VL - 104 IS - 19 SN - 1098-0121 CY - Woodbury, NY PB - Inst. M1 - FZJ-2021-04379 SP - 195138 PY - 2021 AB - Recent theoretical calculations predict the presence of Dirac nodal lines with π Berry phase and related topological surface states in elemental alkaline-earth metals. Here we provide experimental and theoretical evidence for the existence of similar nodal lines also in hexagonal close-packed Yb, an element of the lanthanide series, in the limit of zero spin-orbit coupling. These topological properties emerge after taking into account self-energy corrections, which permit one to correctly describe the experimental low-energy electronic structure of Yb. By angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we demonstrate the occurrence of topological surface states in Yb which are robust in the presence of the large spin-orbit coupling.
