We consider a tight-binding model on the honeycomb lattice in a magnetic field. For special values of the hopping integrals, the dispersion relation is linear in one direction and quadratic in the other. We find that, in this case, the…

We investigated the crystal structure, magnetic behavior, and optical properties of the layered honeycomb compound Na2Cu2TeO6. X-ray and neutron diffraction confirmed a monoclinic structure, with Cu ions arranged in dimerized chains.…

We investigated the growth of titanium oxide two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures on Au(111), produced by Ti evaporation and post-deposition oxidation. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM and STS) and low-energy electron…

We study the extended Bose-Hubbard model on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice by using large scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We present the ground state phase diagrams for both the hard-core case and the soft-core case. For the…

We propose two mechanisms to realize the second order topological insulator (SOTI) state in spinless hexagonal lattices, viz., chemical modification and anti-Kekul\'e/Kekul\'e distortion of hexagonal lattice. Correspondingly, we construct…

We report on the successful synthesis and low-temperature electron transport investigations of a new form of material - Bi2O2Se semiconducting nanowires. Gate-tunable 0- and $\pi$-h/e (h is the Planck constant and e the elementary charge)…

It is shown that the unique sign structure of the ground state of the Hubbard model on honeycomb lattice, which is shown to be insensitive to the trapped $Z_{2}$ gauge flux when the system is defined on a torus, may cause the absence of…

We introduce a generic method for computing groundstates that is applicable to a wide range of spatially anisotropic 2D many-body quantum systems. By representing the 2D system using a low-energy 1D basis set, we obtain an effective 1D…

We construct a minimal four-band model for the two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators and quantum anomalous Hall insulators based on the $p_x$- and $p_y$-orbital bands in the honeycomb lattice. The multiorbital structure allows the…

Generalized honeycomb-structured materials have received increasing attention due to their novel topological properties. In this article, we investigate zero-energy edge states in tight-binding models for such materials with two different…

Based on first-principles calculations, we propose that a layered electride Mg2O can serve as an effective substrate, in place of metal substrate, to grow honeycomb borophene (h-borophene). We first confirm the thermodynamic stability of…

Introducing uniform magnetic order in two-dimensional topological insulators (2D TIs) by constructing heterostructures of TI and magnet is a promising way to realize the high-temperature Quantum Anomalous Hall effect. However, the…

We report the discovery of weak topological insulators by ab initio calculations in a honeycomb lattice. We propose a structure with an odd number of layers in the primitive unit-cell as a prerequisite for forming weak topological…

We report the evolution of the $k$-space electronic structure of lightly doped bulk Ca$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$ with uniaxial strain. Using ultrathin plate-like crystals, we achieve strain levels up to $-4.1\%$, sufficient to suppress the Mott phase…

The layered honeycomb lattice iridate Cu$_2$IrO$_3$ is the closest realization of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid, primarily due to the enhanced interlayer separation and nearly ideal honeycomb lattice. We report pressure-induced structural…

We study the nature of the ground state of the strongly-coupled two dimensional extended boson Hubbard model on a square lattice. We demonstrate that strong but finite on-site interaction U along with a comparable nearest-neighbor repulsion…

Phonon density of states calculation shows that a new TiO2 polymorph with tridymite structure is mechanically stable. Enthalpies of 9 TiO2 polymorphs under different pressure are presented to study the relative stability of the TiO2…

We propose second-order topological insulators (SOTIs) whose lattice structure has the hexagonal symmetry $C_{6}$ in three and two dimensions. We start with a three-dimensional weak topological insulator constructed on the stacked…

We study the existence and stability of multisite discrete breathers in two prototypical non-square Klein-Gordon lattices, namely a honeycomb and a hexagonal one. In the honeycomb case we consider six-site configurations and find that for…

The structural, electronic, mechanic, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of Ti2SiB which is a hypothetical MAX phase compound, have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. The structural optimization of Ti2SiB…
