Dumbbell stanane: a large-gap quantum spin hall insulator.
A quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect is quite promising for applications in spintronics and quantum computations, but at present, can only be achieved at ultralow temperatures. The determination of large-gap QSH insulators is critical to increase the operating temperature. By using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the stable hydrogenated stanene with a dumbbell-like structure (DB ...
متن کاملRoom Temperature Quantum Spin Hall Insulator in Ethynyl-Derivative Functionalized Stanene Films
Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators feature edge states that topologically protected from backscattering. However, the major obstacles to application for QSH effect are the lack of suitable QSH insulators with a large bulk gap. Based on first-principles calculations, we predict a class of large-gap QSH insulators in ethynyl-derivative functionalized stanene (SnC2X; X = H, F, Cl, Br, I), allowing...
متن کاملStanene cyanide: a novel candidate of Quantum Spin Hall insulator at high temperature
The search for quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators with high stability, large and tunable gap and topological robustness, is critical for their realistic application at high temperature. Using first-principle calculations, we predict the cyanogen saturated stanene SnCN as novel topological insulators material, with a bulk gap as large as 203 meV, which can be engineered by applying biaxial strai...
متن کاملQuantum Spin Hall States in Stanene/Ge(111)
For topological insulators to be implemented in practical applications, it is a prerequisite to select suitable substrates that are required to leave insulators' nontrivial properties and sizable opened band gaps (due to spin-orbital couplings) unaltered. Using ab initio calculations, we predict that Ge(111) surface qualified as a candidate to support stanene sheets, because the band structure ...
متن کاملPhase transition between the quantum spin Hall and insulator phases in 3D: emergence of a topological gapless phase
Phase transitions between the quantum spin Hall and the insulator phases in three dimensions are studied. We find that in inversion-asymmetric systems there appears a gapless phase between the quantum spin Hall and insulator phases in three dimensions, which is in contrast with the two-dimensional case. Existence of this gapless phase stems from a topological nature of gapless points (diabolica...
