We introduce a model of $2\pi$-flux loop semimetals which holds nodal loops described by a winding number $\nu=2$. By adding some extra terms, this model can be transformed into a recently discovered Hopf-link semimetal, and the symmetries distinguishing these two phases are studied. We also propose a simpler physical implementation …
