Light–matter interaction in 2D and topological materials provides a fascinating control knob
for inducing emergent, non-equilibrium properties and achieving new functionalities in the …

Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they
exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices …

The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

Silicene, a silicon analogue of graphene, has attracted increasing attention during the past
few years. As early as in 1994, the possibility of stage corrugation in the Si analogs of …

Recently, several research groups have reported the growth of germanene, a new member
of the graphene family. Germanene is in many aspects very similar to graphene, but in …

Over a long period of exploration, the successful observation of quantized version of
anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in thin film of magnetically doped topological insulator (TI) …

We report the recent progress on the theoretical aspects of monolayer topological insulators
including silicene, germanene and stanene, which are monolayer honeycomb structures of …

Abstract A two-dimensional (2D) Weyl semimetal, akin to a spinful variant of graphene,
represents a topological matter characterized by Weyl fermion-like quasiparticles in low …

Inspired by the great development of graphene, more and more research has been
conducted to seek new two-dimensional (2D) materials with Dirac cones. Although 2D Dirac …

High-pressure chemistry is known to inspire the creation of unexpected new classes of
compounds with exceptional properties. Here, we employ the laser-heated diamond anvil …
