摘要:

用第一性原理计算研究了单层X_3YZ_6(X=Nb,Ta,Y=Si,Ge,Sn,Z=S,Se,Te)材料的电子和拓扑性质.这类材料属于拓扑半金属,具有丰富的节线和节点。考虑到Ta3SnTe 6和Ta3SiSe 6的性质相似,本文重点分析了它们的性质。自旋轨道耦合的存在导致了第一类节线向狄拉克点的转变以及第二类狄拉克点的消失。三维(3D)能带图生动地再现了节点和节线的特征。在(110)边态中出现的平带进一步证实了它们的非平凡拓扑性质。我们还探讨了不同节线(节点)、晶体对称性和SOC之间的关系。在没有SOC的情况下,I型节线受到Mz和My对称性的保护。即使在存在SOC的情况下,对称性破缺也会导致能带分裂。单层X3YZ 6可以作为二维TM的候选者,为进一步研究有趣的物理现象提供平台。

英文摘要:

The electronic and topological properties of single-layer X3YZ6 (X=Nb,Ta, Y=Si,Ge,Sn, Z=S,Se,Te) materials have been studied with the aid of first principles calculations. This kind of materials belong to topological semimetals (TMs) with abundant nodal lines and nodes. Considering their similar properties, we focus on the analysis of Ta3SnTe6 and Ta3SiSe6. The present of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) leads to the transition from type-I nodal lines to Dirac points as well as the disappear of type-II Dirac points. The three-dimensional (3D) band diagrams reproduce vividly the characteristics of nodes and nodal lines. The appearance of the flat bands in (110) edge states further confirm their nontrivial topological properties. We also explore the relationship among different nodal lines (nodes), crystal symmetry and SOC. The type-I nodal lines are protected by Mz and My symmetry in the absent of SOC. Symmetry breaking leads to band splitting even in the presence of SOC. The single-layer X3YZ6 can be used as candidates for two-dimensional (2D) TMs and provide a platform for further study of interesting physical phenomena.
