Stanene has been predicted to be a two-dimensional topological insulator (2DTI). Its low-buckled atomic geometry and the enhanced spin-orbit coupling are expected to cause a prominent quantum spin hall (QSH) effect. However, most of the…
We develop a fully self-consistent model to describe scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG), and we compare the results of our model to experimental measurements. Our results show that…
Two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of tin with low buckled honeycomb structure, named as stanene, is proposed to be an ideal 2D topological insulator with a nontrivial gap larger than 0.1 eV. Theoretical works also pointed out the topological…
BaSn$_2$ has been shown to form as layers of buckled stanene intercalated by barium ions~\cite{Kim_2008}. However, despite an apparently straightforward synthesis and significant interest in stanene as a topological material, BaSn$_2$ has…
Drawing inspiration from bilayer graphene, this paper introduces its photonic analog comprising two stacked graphene-like photonic crystals, that are coupled in the near-field through spoof surface plasmons. Beyond the twist degree of…
At partial fillings of its flat electronic bands, magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) hosts a rich variety of competing correlated phases that show sample to sample variations. Divergent phase diagrams in MATBG are often attributed…
In recent years, 2D materials have attracted increasing attention from the scientific community due to their superlative properties. The stanene, a graphene like compound formed by Sn atoms, may have unique properties because of the…
Spontaneous symmetry-breaking, where the ground state of a system has lower symmetry than the underlying Hamiltonian, is ubiquitous in physics. It leads to multiply-degenerate ground states, each with a different "broken" symmetry labeled…
We present a compositional and structural investigation of silicene, germanene, and stanene bilayers from first-principles. Due to the staggering of the individual layers, several stacking patterns are possible, most of which are not…
MnTe has recently emerged as a canonical altermagnet, a newly identified class of magnetism characterized by compensated antiferromagnetic order coexisting with spin-split electronic bands, traditionally considered exclusive to…
