AbstractThe band structures of three group-V semimetals As, Sb, and Bi with rhombohedral A7 symmetry are studied using a second-neighbor tight-binding model including spin-orbit interaction with an sp3s* basis. Then the bulk tight-binding parameters are used to investigate the electronic properties of semimetal-semiconductor superlattices made of alternating (111) layers of Sb and GaSb or AlSb. It is found that the band gap can be adjustable depending primarily on the thickness of the Sb layers. An interface state is observed in the region of the gap.

Abstract In this paper, we have investigated the transport of topological edge states in 2D Zigzag edge Tungsten Ditelluride Nanoribbon (ZTDNR).We have found that zigzag edge nanoribbon (NR) of Tungsten Ditelluride develops topological edge states in the presence of intrinsic spin orbit interaction (SOC). We have used three band tight binding model for the electrons of dz2 , dxy, and dx2 - y2 orbitals with SOC for calculating band structure of NR and Non Equilibrium Greens Function (NEGF) formalism for transport in the NR. We have investigated transport in a pristine device, transport in the presence of a finite potential barrier, transport with constriction within the device and transport with edge imperfections.
