Topological crystalline insulator nanomembrane with strain-tunable band gap

The ability to fine-tune band gap and band inversion in topological materials is highly desirable for the development of novel functional devices. Here we propose that the electronic properties of free-standing nanomembranes of the topological crystalline insulators (TCI) SnTe and Pb[subscript 1−x]...
