摘要：

Topological materials are solids withnontrivial topology in their electronic band structures. The periodical latticeof atoms in solids limits the electrons in a compact reciprocal lattice spaceand leads to nontrivial band topology in both insulators and metals, namelytopological insulators and topological semimetals. Band inversion is anintuitive picture for understanding the underlying physics since it is relatedwith Berry phase and Berry curvature of bands. How to find a material withnontrivial band topology had been a quite elusive and difficult task. However,some exotic and abnormal physical phenomena related with nontrivial bandtopology have been noticed and successfully applied for locating the exacttopological materials, which includes a large band gap two-dimensional TIs inZrTe5, the first Dirac semimetal Na3Bi and the first Weyl semimetal TaAs. Thesediscoveries have greatly advanced the whole field of topological quantumstates. Recently, the band inversion have been found to be efficientlyidentified with symmetry indicators formed by irreducible representation ofbands at high symmetrical momenta, which can be calculated throughfirst-principles. High throughput calculation of known non-magnetic materialsis thus performed and thousands compounds have been identified to havenontrivial band topology for routinely search.
