Surface reconstruction-driven band folding and spin-orbit enhancement at the -antimonene/Au(111) interface

Thomas Pierron, José de Jesùs Villalobos Castro, Etienne Barre +9

The electronic properties of the two-dimensional (2D) phase of antimonene are unique, featuring unpinned Dirac cones that can be moved with strain. Here we investigate the stru…

Selective band engineering of Bi/Si(111) by boron segregation

E. Barre, J. Villalobos-Castro, T. Pierron +4

Atomically thin layers of metals deposited on semiconductors display a variety of physical properties such as superconductivity, charge density waves, topological phases, strong sp…

Three-dimensional deformations in single-layer antimonene and interaction with a Au(111) surface from first principles

José de Jesús Villalobos Castro, Thomas Pierron, Stephane Pons +3

Using density functional theory, we investigate the electronic structure of the alpha phase of an antimony monolayer in its isolated form and in contact to the (111) surface of gol…

STM observation of the hinge-states of bismuth nanocrystals

Tianzhen Zhang, Valeria Sheina, Sergio Vlaic +6

The recent application of topological quantum chemistry to rhombohedral bismuth established the non-trivial band structure of this material. This is a 2order topological ins…

Elastic properties of moiré lattices in epitaxial two-dimensional materials

Alexandre Artaud, Nicolas Rougemaille, Sergio Vlaic +3

Unlike conventional two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor superlattices, moiré patterns in 2D materials are flexible and their electronic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical properties…
