Sixfold excitations in electrides

Due to the lack of full rotational symmetry in condensed matter physics, solids exhibit new excitations beyond Dirac and Weyl fermions, of which the sixfold excitations have attracted considerable interest owing to the presence of maximum degeneracy in bosonic systems. Here, we propose that a single...
