According to topological quantum chemistry (TQC), a class of electronic materials has been
called obstructed atomic insulators (OAIs), in which a portion of valence electrons …

The recently developed theory of topological quantum chemistry (TQC) has built a close
connection between band representations in momentum space and orbital characters in real …

Electrides, with their excess electrons distributed in crystal cavities playing the role of
anions, exhibit a variety of unique properties that make these materials desirable for many …

Recently, two-dimensional layered electrides have emerged as a new class of materials
which possess anionic electrons in the interstitial spaces between cationic layers. Here …

Due to the lack of full rotational symmetry in condensed matter physics, solids exhibit new
excitations beyond Dirac and Weyl fermions, of which the sixfold excitations have attracted …

Recent experimental observations of Weyl fermions in materials open a new frontier of
condensed-matter physics. Based on first-principles calculations, we here discover the Weyl …

Electrides, with excess anionic electrons confined in their empty space, are promising for
uses in catalysis, nonlinear optics, and spin electronics. However, the application of …
