Pusan National University Researchers Develop Way to Tune Energy Levels of Semimetals

Type-II Dirac semimetals are quantum materials with unique energy level structures, such as a bulk Dirac point (BDP). However, these semimetals are unsuitable for real-life applications because their BDP is far off the “Fermi energy level.” Nickel ditelluride (NiTe2), a newly reported type-II Dirac semimetal has a BDP slightly above the Fermi level. Now, researchers have substituted tellurium with selenium in NiTe2 to alter the strength of its spin-orbit coupling and further tune its BDP.
