A Class of topological nodal rings and its realization in carbon networks

Topological nodal rings can be classified into three types according to the slopes in their energy dispersion. The first two are made of type-I and II nodal points, respectively, while the third is made of both. In carbon networks, all three types can exist. Under strain, phase transitions from a topological metal to a semiconductor, take place, and at the transition points, these nodal rings shrink into type-I, II, and III semi-Dirac points. These topological features exhibit diverse electron-hole pocket patterns and Landau levels, which give rise to exotic transport properties.
