Using first-principles calculation methods, we reveal a series of phase transitions as a function of gating or electron doping in monolayered quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators, 1T$'$-MoTe$_2$ and 1T$'$-WTe$_2$. As...

We used first-principles calculations to predict a class of new QSH phases for f-Ge(Sn)X2 films, which are useful for applications because of not only their sizable nontrivial bulk gaps, but also the tunability of the QSH states by chemical functionalization.

Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that the monolayer AuTe2Cl is a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator with a topological band gap about 10 meV. The three-dimensional (3D) AuTe2Cl is a topological semimetal that can be viewed as the monolayer stacking along [Formula: see text] axis. By studying the energy-level distribution of [Formula: see text] orbitals of Te atoms for the bulk and the monolayer, we find that the confinement effect driven [Formula: see text] band inversion is responsible for the topological nontrivial nature of monolayer. Since 3D bulk AuTe2Cl has already been experimentally synthesized, we expect that monolayer AuTe2Cl can be exfoliated from a bulk sample and the predicted QSH effect can be observed.

We predict a stable new 2D large gap topological insulator in the porous allotrope of bismuth monolayer, i.e. bismuthylene. Its topological properties can be reserved under strains and electric fields.
