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…
Tuning Fe Nucleation Density with Charge Doping of Graphene Substrate
Wenmei Ming, Feng Liu
We have demonstrated that the island nucleation in the initial stage of epitaxial thin film growth can be tuned by substrate surface charge doping. This charge effect was investiga…
Giant Rashba-Spin Splitting of Bi(111) Bilayer on Large Band Gap InSe
Wenmei Ming, Z. F. Wang, Feng Liu
Experimentally it is still challenging to epitaxially grow Bi(111) bilayer (BL) on conventional semiconductor substrate. Here, we propose a substrate of InSe(0001) with…
Quantum Size Effect on Dielectric Properties of Ultrathin Metallic Film: A First-Principles Study of Al(111)
Wenmei Ming, Steve Blair, Feng Liu
Quantum manifestations of various properties of metallic thin films by quantum size effect (QSE) have been studied intensively. Here, using first-principles calculations, we show q…
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…
