Topological insulators in the NaCaBi family with large spin-orbit coupling gaps

By means of first-principles calculations and crystal structure searching techniques, we predict that a different NaCaBi family crystallized into the ZrBeSi-type structure (i.e., P6_{3}/mmc) are strong topological insulators (STIs). Taking P6_{3}/mmc NaCaBi as an example, the calculated band structu...
