Constructing a Large Variety of Dirac-Cone Materials in the Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_x$ Thin Film System

Abstract

We theoretically predict that a large variety of Dirac-cone materials can be constructed in Bi${}_{1-x}$Sb${}_x$ thin films, and we here show how to construct single-, bi- and tri- Dirac-cone materials with various amounts of wave vector anisotropy. These different types of Dirac cones can be of special interest to electronic devices design, quantum electrodynamics and other fields.
