Figure 11
(a) Schematic illustration of the nodal line centering on the M point in the R–M–Γ plane. Crossing the nodal line, we choose four k-paths, namely M–A, M–B, M–C and M–D. The points A, B, C and D are equally spaced between Γ and R. (b) Electronic band structures of YCd at the M–A, M–B, M–C and M–D paths. (c) The selected k paths (M–e, M–f, M–g and M–h) between M–C and M–D. The points e, f, g and h are equally spaced between C and D. (d) Electronic band structures of YCd along the M–e, M–f, M–g and M–h paths.
