Two-dimensional topological materials attracted intense interest in condensed matter physics due to their topologically protected edge states and potential applications in electronic devices. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we found that a two-dimensional CX3 (X = Sb, Bi) monolayer is a quantum spin Hall insulator with a large band gap. With the strong spin–orbit coupling effect, CX3 exhibits noticeable bulk band gaps up to 470 meV, sufficiently large for realizing the quantum spin Hall effect at room temperature. The topological characteristic is confirmed by the Z2 invariant since the system preserves time-reversal symmetry. Particularly, the CSb3 monolayer displays unique topologically entangled Rashba-splitting edge states, resembling nearly free-electron quadratic dispersion. Such topologically entangled Rashba-like edge states derive from the spin–orbit coupling effect and inversion symmetry breaking on the edges. Moreover, we demonstrate that the topological properties are perfectly preserved in the CX3 monolayer even with a h-BN substrate. The nontrivial quantum spin Hall state in the CX3 monolayer will provide possibilities for studying a novel phenomenon of edge states and potential applications in low-dissipation electronic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
