Topological nodal lines and hybrid Weyl nodes in YCoC2

Based on first-principles calculations and effective model analysis, we propose that the noncentrosymmetric superconductor YCoC2 in normal state is a topological semimetal. In the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), it can host two intersecting nodal rings protected by two mirror planes, respectiv...
