摘 要:We propose a novel class of two-dimensional(2D)Dirac materials in the MX family(M=Be,Mg,Zn and Cd,X=Cl,Br and I),which exhibit graphene-like band structures with linearly-dispersing Dirac-cone states over large energy scales(0.8–1.8 eV)and ultra-high Fermi velocities comparable to ***-orbit coupling opens sizable topological band gaps so that these compounds can be effectively classified as quantum spin Hall *** electronic and topological properties are found to be highly tunable and amenable to modulation via anion-layer substitution and vertical electric *** structures of several members of the family are shown to host a Van-Hove singularity(VHS)close to the energy of the Dirac *** enhanced density-of-states associated with these VHSs could provide a mechanism for inducing topological *** presence of sizable band gaps,ultra-high carrier mobilities,and small effective masses makes the MX family promising for electronics and spintronics applications.
