Prediction of Anisotropic Single-Dirac-Cones in Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_x$ Thin Films

Abstract

The electronic band structures of Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_x$ thin films can be varied as a function of temperature, pressure, stoichiometry, film thickness and growth orientation. We here show how different anisotropic single-Dirac-cones can be constructed in a Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_x$ thin film for different applications or research purposes. For predicting anisotropic single-Dirac-cones, we have developed an iterative-two-dimensional-two-band model to get a consistent inverse-effective-mass-tensor and band-gap, which can be used in a general two-dimensional system that has a non-parabolic dispersion relation as in a Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_x$ thin film system.
