By calculating the topological invariant Z2 and the edge states, we identify topological insulators. We present the phase diagrams of a-graphyne with different filling fractions as a function of spin-orbit interaction and the nearest-neighbor hopping energy. We find there exist topological insulators in a-graphyne. We analyze and discuss the characteristics of topological phases of a-graphyne.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we investigate topological phases of a-graphyne with tight-binding method. By calculating the topological invariant Z2 and the edge states, we identify topological insulators. We present the phase diagrams of a-graphyne with different filling fractions as a function of spin-orbit interaction and the nearest-neighbor hopping energy. We find there exist topological insulators in a-graphyne. We analyze and discuss the characteristics of topological phases of a-graphyne.
