A tight binding and $$\overrightarrow{{\boldsymbol{k}}}\cdot \overrightarrow{{\boldsymbol{p}}}$$ k → ⋅ p → study of monolayer stanene
2017
Stanene is a single layer of tin atoms which has been discovered as an emerging material for quantum spin Hall related applications. In this paper, we present an accurate tight-binding model for single layer stanene near the Fermi level. We parameterized the onsite and hopping energies for the nearest, second nearest, and third nearest neighbor tight-binding method, both without and with spin orbital coupling. We derived the analytical solution for the $$\overrightarrow{{\boldsymbol{\Gamma }}}$$
