摘要:

我们预测了一个新的二维稀土单硫族化合物MX(M = Sc,Y; X = S,Se,Te).基于第一性原理计算,我们证实了它们的稳定性,并系统地研究了它们的力学性能。我们发现,这些材料是金属和有趣的是,他们拥有节点线的低能量能带结构周围的整个布里渊区,保护非对称晶体对称性的情况下的自旋轨道耦合(SOC)。SOC在节线处打开小的能隙,除了两个高对称点,在那里获得四重简并的2D自旋轨道狄拉克点。我们发现,这些拓扑带功能是强大的单轴和双轴应变下,但可以解除剪切应变。我们还研究了这些材料的光学电导率,并表明应变下的能带结构的转变可以从光吸收光谱推断。我们的工作揭示了一个新的家庭的二维拓扑金属材料与有趣的机械和电子性能,这将有助于研究非对称使节点功能在二维。

英文摘要:

We predict a new family of two-dimensional (2D) rare earth monochalcogenide materials MX (M = Sc, Y; X = S, Se, Te). Based on first-principles calculations, we confirm their stability and systematically investigate their mechanical properties. We find that these materials are metallic and interestingly, they possess nodal lines in the low-energy band structure surrounding the whole Brillouin zone, protected by nonsymmorphic crystal symmetries in the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). SOC opens small energy gaps at the nodal line, except for two high-symmetry points, at which fourfold degenerate 2D spin-orbit Dirac points are obtained. We show that these topological band features are robust under uniaxial and biaxial strains, but can be lifted by the shear strain. We also investigate the optical conductivities of these materials, and show that the transformation of the band structure under strain can be inferred from the optical absorption spectrum. Our work reveals a new family of 2D topological metal materials with interesting mechanical and electronic properties, which will facilitate the study of nonsymmorphic symmetry enabled nodal features in 2D.
