摘要:

拓扑绝缘体中的Rashba自旋轨道耦合由于其与自旋电子器件密切相关的奇特性质而引起了人们的广泛兴趣。然而,在二维薄膜中很少观察到非平凡拓扑和巨Rashba分裂的共存,这严重限制了它在室温下的潜在应用。在这里,我们提出了一系列的反转不对称IV族薄膜,ABZ 2,其稳定性证实了声子谱计算。电子结构分析表明,除了GeSiF2、SnSiCl2、GeSiCl2和GeSiBr2单层膜在适当的拉伸应变下可以从正常相转变为拓扑相外,它们都是本征二维TI,体隙高达0.74 eV.另一个引人注目的特征是巨大的Rashba自旋分裂,其幅度达到0.15 eV,这是2D电影中报道的最大值。这些结果提供了一个平台,以探索2D TI的室温器件应用。

英文摘要:

Rashba spin orbit coupling in topological insulators has attracted much interest due to its exotic properties closely related to spintronic devices. The coexistence of nontrivial topology and giant Rashba splitting, however, has rare been observed in two-dimensional films, limiting severely its potential applications at room temperature. Here, we propose a series of inversion asymmetric group IV films, ABZ2, whose stability are confirmed by phonon spectrum calculations. The analyses of electronic structures reveal that they are intrinsic 2D TIs with a bulk gap as large as 0.74 eV, except for GeSiF2, SnSiCl2, GeSiCl2 and GeSiBr2 monolayers which can transform from normal to topological phases under appropriate tensile strains. Another prominent intriguing feature is the giant Rashba spin splitting with a magnitude reaching 0.15 eV, the largest value reported in 2D films. These results present a platform to explore 2D TIs for room temperature device applications.
