Second-order topological insulator in Bilayer borophene
arXiv:2407.10432 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.035113
Abstract
As the novel topological states, the higher-order topological insulators have attracted great attentions in the past years. However, their realizations in realistic materials, in particular in two dimensional systems, remains the big challenge due to the lack of adequate candidates. Here, based on the first-principle calculation and tight-binding model simulations, we identify the currently \emph{existing} bilayer -phase borophenes as the two-dimensional second-order topological insulators, protected by the -rotational symmetry. The formation of interlayer B-B covalent bonds, stabilizing the bilayer borophenes and opening the large direct bulk gaps ( eV) at Fermi level, plays the key roles. The second-order topology is characterized by the bulk quantized quadrupole momentum. Our results enriches the candidates for the second-order topological insulators, and also provide a way to study topological states in borophenes.
