Outline

  • BiTeX layer

  • BiTeX/graphene

  • Topological phase diagram of single sided structure in presence of mechanical distortions

Graphene is...

...a good template

BiTeX: giant SOC semiconductors

Ishizaka et al. Nature Materials 10, 521 (2011)

BiTeX monolayers recently fabricated!

BiTeX/graphene heterostructures

Effective model and fit

t_1+i\vec{m_1}\cdot\vec{\sigma}
t_2+i\vec{m_2}\cdot\vec{\sigma}
t_3+i\vec{m_3}\cdot\vec{\sigma}
im_z\sigma_z
  • moderate energy structure ~ \(t_i\) and \(m_z\)
  • low energy \(\vec{m_i}\)
=\mathrm{e}^{-\beta\left(l/l_0-1\right)}

Pressure→I, Strain →TI !?!

Strain kills Kekule!

Kekule

Kane-Mele

Coupling Dirac cones

in different valleys

Intra valley effect stronger
