Strain-Induced Quantum Spin Hall Effect in Two-Dimensional Methyl-Functionalized Silicene SiCH3

Quantum Spin Hall (QSH) has potential applications in low energy consuming spintronic devices and has become a researching hotspot recently. It benefits from insulators feature edge states, topologically protected from backscattering by time-reversal symmetry. The properties of methyl functionalized...
