摘要

The interplay between strong electronic correlations, unconventional superconductivity, and symmetry-protected topology provides a fertile ground for discovering exotic quantum states. In this work, we investigate the correlated electronic structure and topological properties of the heavy fermion material CeCoGe3 using density functional theory combined with dynamical mean-field theory calculations. Our results reveal a crossover from high temperature incoherent states to low temperature coherent heavy quasiparticles, accompanied by a mass enhancement of m*/mDFT ~ 52.6 at T = 25 K. The interplay between electronic correlation, spin-orbit coupling and the noncentrosymmetric I4mm crystal symmetry stabilizes flat topological nodal lines within 10 meV of the Fermi level, which could contribute a significant density of states. The proximity of topological nodal lines to the Fermi surface suggests a potential role in mediating pressure induced unconventional superconductivity. Our work establishes CeCoGe3 as a prototype topological nodal line Kondo semimetal. The coexistence of strong correlation, non-trivial band topology and superconductivity indicates CeCoGe3 as a potential candidate for realizing topological superconductivity.
