Abstract:
We conducted a high-throughput search for topological magnetic materials across 522 new, experimentally reported commensurate magnetic structures from MAGNDATA, doubling the number of available materials on the Topological Magnetic Materials database. This brings up to date the previous studies. For each material, we performed first-principles electronic calculations and diagnosed the topology as a function of the Hubbard U parameter. Our high-throughput calculation led us to the prediction of 250 experimentally relevant topologically nontrivial materials, which represent 47.89% of the newly analyzed materials. We present five remarkable examples of these materials, each showcasing a different topological phase: Mn2AlB2 (BCSID 1.508), which exhibits a nodal line semimetal to topological insulator transition as a function of SOC; CaMnSi (BCSID 0.599), a narrow gap axion insulator; UAsS (BCSID 0.594), a 5f-orbital Weyl semimetal; CsMnF4 (BCSID 0.327), a material presenting a new type of quasi-symmetry protected closed nodal surface; and FeCr2S4 (BCSID 0.613), a symmetry-enforced semimetal with double Weyls and spin-polarized surface states.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
