摘要:

利用进化算法预测晶体结构,提出了一种新的稳定的二维碳同素异形体,即PAI-石墨烯,它是由聚合的不对称引达省(PAI)以锯齿形排列组成的,其能量低于大多数已报道的石墨烯的二维同素异形体。最重要的是,晶体结构实现了一个非对称层组,该层组使能带结构具有非平凡的全局拓扑结构,其中两个狄拉克锥完美地位于费米能级。不存在电子/空穴袋使得PAI-石墨烯成为具有各向异性费米速度的原始结晶拓扑半金属,所述费米速度具有高值$7.0 \times 10^{5}$ m/s。我们发现,虽然半金属属性的同素异形体是强大的应变的应用程序,狄拉克锥和费米速度的位置可以修改显着应变。此外,通过组合沿x和y方向的应变,在$Γ$处发生两个能带反转,导致狄拉克节点的湮灭,证明了拓扑半金属到半导体的应变控制转换的可能性。最后,我们制定的散装边界对应的拓扑节点相的形式,一个广义的扎克相参数找到一个完美的协议与拓扑边缘状态计算不同的边缘终端。

英文摘要:

Using evolutionary algorithm for crystal structure prediction, we present a new stable two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope composed of polymerized as-indacenes (PAI) in a zigzag pattern, namely PAI-graphene whose energy is lower than most of the reported 2D allotropes of graphene. Crucially, the crystal structure realizes a nonsymmorphic layer group that enforces a nontrivial global topology of the band structure with two Dirac cones lying perfectly at the Fermi level. The absence of electron/hole pockets makes PAI-graphene a pristine crystalline topological semimetal having anisotropic Fermi velocities with a high value of $7.0 \times 10^{5}$ m/s. We show that while the semimetallic property of the allotrope is robust against the application of strain, the positions of the Dirac cone and the Fermi velocities can be modified significantly with strain. Moreover, by combining strain along both the x- and y-directions, two band inversions take place at $Γ$ leading to the annihilation of the Dirac nodes demonstrating the possibility of strain-controlled conversion of a topological semimetal into a semiconductor. Finally we formulate the bulk-boundary correspondence of the topological nodal phase in the form of a generalized Zak-phase argument finding a perfect agreement with the topological edge states computed for different edge-terminations.
