摘要 | We analyze the detailed structure of topological edge mode protection occurring in hexagonal quantum spin Hall (QSH) materials. We focus on bismuthene, antimonene, and arsenene on a SiC substrate, which, due to their large bulk gap, may offer new opportunities for room-temperature QSH applications. While time-reversal symmetry is responsible for the principal symmetry protected character of QSH states, the hexagonal edge terminations yield further aspects of crystal symmetry which affect the topological protection. We show that armchair QSH edge states remain gapless under an in-plane magnetic field in the direction along the edge, a hallmark of their topological crystalline protection. In contrast, an out-of-plane magnetic field opens a gap of the order of a few meV within realistic ranges of the parameters. We use these intriguing signatures of armchair QSH edge states to predict experimentally testable fingerprints of their additional topological crystalline character and their helicity emerging in tunneling spectroscopy and ballistic magnetotransport. |
