In recent years, topological semimetals/metals, including nodal point, nodal line, and nodal surface semimetals/metals, have been studied extensively because of their potential applications in spintronics and quantum computers. In this study, we predict a family of materials, Zr<sub>3</sub>X (X = Al, Ga, In), hosting the nodal loop and nodal surface states in the absence of spin-orbit coupling. Remarkably, the energy variation of the nodal loop and nodal surface states in Zr<sub>3</sub>X are ver ...[more]
