Title: Possibility of realizing quantum spin Hall effect at room temperature in stanene / A l 2 O 3 ( 0001 )

Abstract

Two-dimensional quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators with reasonably wide band gaps are imperative for the development of various innovative technologies. Through systematic density functional calculations and tight-binding simulations, we found that stanene on an α -alumina surface may possess a sizeable topologically nontrivial band gap ( ~ 0.25 eV ) at the Γ point. Furthermore, stanene is atomically bonded to but electronically decoupled from the substrate, providing high structural stability and isolated QSH states to a large extent. We conclude the underlying physical mechanism is rather general, and this finding may lead to the opening of a new vista for the exploration of QSH insulators for room temperature device applications.
