Quantum spin Hall effect in a transition metal oxide Na2IrO3.
We study theoretically the electronic states in a 5d transition metal oxide Na2IrO3, in which both the spin-orbit interaction and the electron correlation play crucial roles. A tight-binding model analysis together with the first-principles band structure calculation predicts that this material is a layered quantum spin Hall system. Because of the electron correlation, an antiferromagnetic orde...
متن کامل0 Quantum superconductor - metal transition
We consider a system of superconducting grains embedded in a normal metal. At zero temperature this system exhibits a quantum superconductor-normal metal phase transition. This transition can take place at arbitrary large con-ductance of the normal metal.
متن کاملControlling the Electronic Structures and Properties of in-Plane Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides Quantum Wells
In-plane transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) quantum wells have been studied on the basis of first-principles density functional calculations to reveal how to control the electronic structures and the properties. In collection of quantum confinement, strain and intrinsic electric field, TMD quantum wells offer a diverse of exciting new physics. The band gap can be continuously reduced ascri...
متن کاملThickness-Induced Metal-Insulator Transition in Sb-doped SnO2 Ultrathin Films: The Role of Quantum Confinement
A thickness induced metal-insulator transition (MIT) was firstly observed in Sb-doped SnO2 (SnO2:Sb) epitaxial ultrathin films deposited on sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Both electrical and spectroscopic studies provide clear evidence of a critical thickness for the metallic conductivity in SnO2:Sb thin films and the oxidation state transition of the impurity element Sb. With ...
متن کاملIntervalley coupling by quantum dot confinement potentials in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer new opportunities for realizing quantum dots (QDs) in the ultimate two-dimensional (2D) limit. Given the rich control possibilities of electron valley pseudospin discovered in the monolayers, this quantum degree of freedom can be a promising carrier of information for potential quantum spintronics exploiting single electrons in TMD QDs. An...
