讲座内容：

Topological electronic materials are new quantumstates of matter hosting novel linear responses in the bulk and anomalous gaplessstates at the boundary, and are for scientific and applied reasons underintensive research in physics and in materials sciences. Here we introduce aneffective, efficient and fully automated algorithm in obtaining the topologicalinvariants for all non-magnetic materials that are known to human, based onrecently developed principles that allow for exhaustive mappings between thesymmetry representation of occupied bands and the topological invariants. Ouralgorithm requires as input only the occupied-band information (energy andwavefunction) at a handful (up to eight) of high-symmetry points in theBrillouin zone, which is readily calculable with any first- principlessoftware. In return, it is capable of providing a detailed topological classificationof all non-magnetic materials. Equipped with this method we have scannedthrough a total of 39519 materials available in structural databases, and foundthat as many as 8056 of them are actually topological (8889 if spin-orbitalcoupling is neglected). These are further catalogued into classes of 5005topological semimetals, 1814 topological insulators and 1237 topologicalcrystalline insulators, most of which are new to human knowledge. All theresults are available and searchable at http://materiae.iphy. ac.cn/.
