Design and realization of topological Dirac fermions on a triangular lattice

Atomic monolayers of large-gap quantum spin Hall insulators are challenging to synthesize. Here, the authors realize massive Dirac fermions emerging from Bloch wave-function interference on a triangular lattice and achieve topologically non-trivial domains with unprecedented spatial extension.
