TLDR
In this article, a character table for the group of the wave vector at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone is given, and a possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure is presented.
Abstract
Character tables for the "group of the wave vector" at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone are given. The additional degeneracies due to time reversal symmetry are indicated. The form of energy vs wave vector at these points of symmetry is derived. A possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure will be presented.

Prediction of Ideal Topological Semimetals with Triply Degenerate Points in the NaCu 3 Te 2 Family

TL;DR: An effective approach to search for ideal TDP semimetals is disclosed via selective band crossing between antibonding s and bonding p orbitals along a line in the momentum space with C_{3v} symmetry, and it is successfully identified the NaCu_{3}Te_{2} family of compounds to be ideal TMPs.

Superconductivity in Three-Dimensional Spin-Orbit Coupled Semimetals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a method to analyze superconductivity in systems with symmetry-protected band touchings and show that polar phonons play an important role in the superconducting mechanism of the half-Heusler compounds.
