Manipulating topological phases in honeycomb structure
Abstract
Band topology of strained buckled honeycomb consisting of different elements (IV, V and III-V) as well as those placed on a variety of semiconducting and insulating substrates are systematically investigated using first-principles calculations [1-5]. Topological phase can be manipulated not only through strain but also through bonding with the supporting substrate and functionalization. The honeycomb can exhibit quantum spin Hall effect phase, topological crystalline phase, and quantum anomalous Hall effect phase. In addition, some metal induced reconstructed substrates can be 2D topological insulator. This opens up new opportunities for the scientists in the field of surface science.
