The increasing interest and research on two-dimensional (2D) materials has not yet translated into a reality of diverse applications. To go beyond graphene transition metal dichalcogenides for several applications, suitable candidates with desirable properties must be proposed. Here we use machine learning techniques to identify thermodynamically stable 2D materials, which is the first essential requirement any application.

This study integrated accessibility and location-allocation models in geographic information systems as a proposed strategy to improve the spatial planning of public health services. To estimate accessibility, we modified two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) model with different impedance function, Gaussian weight for competition among service sites, friction coefficient, distances along street network based on Dijkstra's algorithm by performing vectorial analysis. check accuracy...

Crystallographic space group symmetry (CPGS) such as polar and nonpolar crystal classes have long been known to classify compounds that spin-orbit-induced spin splitting. While taking a journey through the Brillouin Zone (BZ) from one k-point another for fixed CPGS, it is expected wavevector point (WPGS) can change, consequently qualitative change in texture of polarization (the expectation value operator $\vec{S}^{nk_{0}}$ Bloch state $u(n,k)$ $k_0$). However, nature (ST) generally...

Many textbook physical effects in crystals are enabled by some specific symmetries. In contrast to such 'apparent effects', 'hidden effect X' refers the general condition where nominal global system symmetry would disallow X, whereas of local sectors within crystal enable X. Known examples include hidden Rashba and/or Dresselhaus spin polarization that require spin-orbit coupling, but unlike their apparent counterparts demonstrated exist non-magnetic systems even inversion-symmetric...

Abstract Having a direct or indirect band gap can influence the potential applications of semiconductor, for materials are usually not suitable optoelectronic devices. Even though this is fundamental property semiconducting materials, discussed in textbooks, no unified theory exists to explain why material has gap.

Three-dimensional topological insulators protected by both the time reversal (TR) and mirror symmetries were recently predicted observed. Two-dimensional materials featuring this property their potential for device applications have been less explored. We find that, in these systems, spin polarization of edge states can be controlled with an external electric field breaking symmetry. This symmetry requires that is perpendicular to plane; therefore, induces spin-polarization components...

Abstract Despite its potential for device application, the nonmagnetic Zeeman effect has only been predicted and observed in two-dimensional compounds. We demonstrate that noncentrosymmetric three-dimensional compounds can also exhibit a Zeeman-type spin splitting, allowing splitting control by changing growth direction of slabs formed these determine required conditions this effect: (i) including polar nonpolar point groups, (ii) valence band maximum or conduction minimum generic k -point,...

Cofunctionality---the coexistence of different (possibly even contraindicated) properties in the same compound---is an exciting prospect that never fails to deliver interesting surprises, as transparent while electrically conducting compounds, topological insulators having Rashba spin split bands, or thermally insulating (thermoelectric) compounds. Here we study a cofunctionality ferroelectricity and effect combines directional helical spin-polarization characteristic energy bands bulk...

Abstract The discovery and realization of topological insulators, a phase matter which hosts metallic boundary states when the d -dimension insulating bulk is confined to ( − 1)-dimensions, led several potential applications. Recently, it was shown that protected can manifest in 2)-dimensions, such as hinge corner for three- two-dimensional systems, respectively. These nontrivial materials are named higher-order insulators (HOTIs). Here we show connection between spin Hall effect HOTIs using...

We have performed an ab initio investigation of the electronic properties graphene sheet adsorbed by Ru adatoms (Ru/graphene). For a particular set triangular arrays adatoms, we find formation four (spin-polarized) Dirac cones attributed to suitable overlap between two hexagonal lattices: one composed C sites sheet, and other formed surface potential induced adatoms.
