Robust large-gap topological insulator phase in transition-metal chalcogenide ZrTe4Se

Based on density functional theory, we investigate the electronic properties of bulk and single-layer ZrTe _4 Se. The band structure of bulk ZrTe _4 Se can produce a semimetal-to-topological insulator (TI) phase transition under uniaxial strain. The maximum global band gap is 0.189 eV at the 7% tens...
