Description:
Author(s): Yandong Ma, Liangzhi Kou, Xiao Li, Ying Dai, Sean C. Smith, and Thomas Heine Two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs) hold promise for applications in spintronics based on the fact that the propagation direction of an edge electronic state of a 2D TI is locked to its spin orientation. Here, using first-principles calculations, we predict a family of robust 2D TIs in… [Phys. Rev. B 92, 085427] Published Tue Aug 25, 2015
