Electrically tunable quantum spin Hall state in topological crystalline insulator thin films

Based on electronic structure calculations and theoretical analysis, we predict the (111) thin films of the SnTe class of three-dimensional (3D) topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) realize the quantum spin Hall phase in a wide range of thicknesses. The nontrivial topology originates from the i...
