We establish the map between symmetries and orbital rules to realize tunable band gap in quantum anomalous Hall effect material. This band gap is determined by the SOC between local orbitals associated with band crossing, which is…

A Z2 topological insulator protected by time-reversal symmetry is realized via spin-orbit interaction driven band inversion. For example, the topological phase in the Bi-Sb system is due to an odd number of band inversions. A related…
