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 …

With weak interlayer interactions and unique physical properties, bismuth oxyselenide (Bi 2
O 2 Se) has become a rising star as a novel quasi-2D material, possessing high symmetry …

We use symmetry analysis, density functional theory calculations, and k· p modeling to
scrutinize Rashba and Dresselhaus effects in hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites …

The Rashba effect in quasi two-dimensional materials, such as noble metal surfaces and
semiconductor heterostructures, has been investigated extensively, while interest in real two …

The simultaneous occurrence of gigantic piezoelectricity and Rashba effect in two-
dimensional (2D) materials is unusually scarce. Inversion symmetry occurring in MX3 (M= Ti …

The literature data on topological insulators (TIs) based on metal chalcogenides, which
constitute a new unique class of functional materials, are systematized here in the context of …

Materials showing second-order nonlinear transport under time reversal symmetry can be
used for Radio Frequency (RF) rectification, but practical application demands room …

We investigate the two-dimensional highly spin-polarized electron accumulation layers
commonly appearing near the surface of n-type polar semiconductors BiTe X (X= I, Br, and …

The search for new two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling,
merging Rashba effect with valley physics, is essential for advancing the emerging fields of …

The family of layered BiTeX (X= Cl, Br, I) compounds are intrinsic Janus semiconductors with
giant Rashba-splitting and many exotic surface and bulk physical properties. To date …
