    Abstract:
    The formation of the Dirac nodal line (DNL) requires intrinsic symmetry that can protect the degeneracy of continuous Dirac points in momentum space. Here, as an alternative approach, we propose an extrinsic symmetry protected DNL. On the basis of symmetry analysis and numerical calculations, we establish a general principle to design the nonsymmorphic symmetry protected 4-fold degenerate DNL against spin-orbit coupling in the nanopatterned 2D electron gas. Furthermore, on the basis of experimental measurements, we demonstrate the approximate realization of our proposal in the Bi/Cu(111) system, in which a highly dispersive DNL is observed at the boundary of the Brillouin zone. We envision that the extrinsic symmetry engineering will greatly enhance the ability for artificially constructing the exotic topological bands in the future.
