Experimental observation of multiple topological nodal structure in LaSb2

Unconventional fermions in the immensely studied topological semimetals are the source for rich exotic topological properties. Here, using symmetry analysis and first-principles calculations, we propose the coexistence of multiple topological nodal structure in LaSb 2 , including topological nodal surfaces, nodal lines and in particular eightfold degenerate nodal points, which have been scarcely observed in a single material. Further, utilizing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we confirm the existence of nodal surfaces and eightfold degenerate nodal points in LaSb 2 . The intriguing multiple topological nodal structure might play a crucial role in giving rise to the large linear magnetoresistance. Our work renews the insights into the exotic topological phenomena in LaSb 2 .
