Epitaxial growth of large-gap quantum spin Hall insulator on semiconductor surface
Miao Zhou, Wenmei Ming, Zheng Liu +3
Formation of topological quantum phase on conventional semiconductor surface is of both scientific and technological interest. Here, we demonstrate epitaxial growth of 2D topologic…
sd2 Graphene: Kagome Band in Hexagonal lattice
Miao Zhou, Zheng Liu, Wenmei Ming +2
Graphene, made of sp2 hybridized carbon, is characterized with a Dirac band, representative of its underlying 2D hexagonal lattice. Fundamental understanding of graphene has recent…
First-principles study of an organometallic S=1/2 kagome compound
Zheng Liu, Jia-Wei Mei, Feng Liu
Cu(1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) [Cu(1,3-bdc)] contains structurally perfect kagomé planes formed by Cu ions without the presence of diamagnetic defects. This organometallic com…
Exotic electronic states in the world of flat bands: from theory to material
Zheng Liu, Feng Liu, Yong-Shi Wu
It has long been noticed that special lattices contain single-electron flat bands (FB) without any dispersion. Since the kinetic energy of electrons is quenched in the FB, this hig…
Formation of quantum spin Hall state on Si surface and energy gap scaling with strength of spin orbit coupling
Miao Zhou, Wenmei Ming, Zheng Liu +3
For potential applications in spintronics and quantum computing, it is desirable to place a quantum spin Hall insulator [i.e., a 2D topological insulator (TI)] on a substrate while…
