Schematic illustration of the metal-insulator transition in magnetic topological semiconductors. The topological nodal line is where electronic bands cross and form a line in energy-momentum space. With magnetic ordering, spin-orbit energy depending on the spin direction decides whether the system is a semiconductor (left) or metal (right).
