One Dimensional Nearly Free Electron States in Borophene
Longjuan Kong, Liren Liu, Lan Chen +5
Two-dimensional boron (borophene) is featured by its structural polymorphs and distinct in-plane anisotropy, opening opportunities to achieve tailored electronic properties by inte…
Experimental realization of graphene-like borophene
Wenbin Li, Longjuan Kong, Caiyun Chen +7
We report a successful preparation of a purely honeycomb, graphene-like borophene, by using an Al(111) surface as the substrate and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth in ultrahigh…
Direct evidences of pentagonal silicon chains and magic clusters
Shaoxiang Sheng, Runze Ma, Jiangbin Wu +11
Pentagon is one of the most beautiful geometric structures in nature, but it is rarely seen simply because five-fold symmetry is mathematically forbidden in a 2D or 3D periodic lat…
Strain-Induced Band Engineering in Monolayer Stanene on Sb(111)
Jian Gou, Longjuan Kong, Hui Li +5
Two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of tin with low buckled honeycomb structure, named as stanene, is proposed to be an ideal 2D topological insulator with a nontrivial gap larger than…
Synthesis of Borophene Nanoribbons on Ag(110) Surface
Qing Zhong, Longjuan Kong, Jian Gou +7
We present the successful synthesis of single-atom-thick borophene nanoribbons (BNRs) by self-assembly of boron on Ag(110) surface. The scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies…
Experimental Observation of Three-Component 'New Fermions' in Topological Semimetal MoP
B. Q. Lv, Z. -L. Feng, Q. -N. Xu +10
Condensed matter systems can host quasiparticle excitations that are analogues to elementary particles such as Majorana, Weyl, and Dirac fermions. Recent advances in band theory ha…
Quantum phase transitions in spin-1 compass chains
Guang-Hua Liu, Long-Juan Kong, Wen-Long You
The ground-state phase diagram and quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in a spin-1 compass chain are investigated by the infinite time-evolving block decimation (iTEBD) method. Variou…
