3D ZrSe5 crystals are layered compounds with very weak interlayer bonding, from which a stable 2D system can easily be obtained. Using density functional theory (DFT), it is predicted that bulk ZrSe5 is a weak topological insulator (WTI) with a bandgap of 0.157 eV and that single-layer ZrSe5 is a promising candidate for quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators, with a direct bandgap as large as 0.183 eV. These properties make this material suitable for room-temperature WTI and QSH-based applications. The orbital-resolved band structures, Z2 invariants, surface states, and edge states further confirm the nontrivial topological nature of this material. In particular, the nontrivial topological states in single-layer ZrSe5 are robust against mechanical strain, making them an excellent choice as a flexible substrate for device applications. These results pave a new way for future experimental studies on the QSH effect and open up opportunities for the development of advanced quantum devices and nanoscale systems.

一种新型大间隙量子自旋霍尔绝缘体材料 ZrSe5

3D ZrSe 5晶体是层间键合非常弱的层状化合物,可以很容易地从中获得稳定的2D系统。使用密度泛函理论 (DFT),预测体 ZrSe 5是带隙为 0.157 eV 的弱拓扑绝缘体 (WTI),单层 ZrSe 5是量子自旋霍尔 (QSH) 绝缘体的有希望的候选者,具有直接带隙高达 0.183 eV。这些特性使这种材料适用于室温 WTI 和基于 QSH 的应用。轨道分辨能带结构、Z 2不变量、表面状态和边缘状态进一步证实了这种材料的非平凡拓扑性质。特别是,单层 ZrSe 中的非平凡拓扑状态5对机械应变具有很强的抵抗力,使它们成为设备应用的柔性基板的绝佳选择。这些结果为未来对 QSH 效应的实验研究铺平了道路,并为先进量子器件和纳米级系统的发展开辟了机会。
