Two-dimensional spin-orbit Dirac point in monolayer HfGeTe

Two-dimensional spin-orbit Dirac point in monolayer HfGeTe

Dirac points in two-dimensional (2D) materials have been a fascinating subject of research, with graphene as the most prominent example. However, the Dirac points in existing 2D materials, including graphene, are vulnerable against spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here, based on first-principles calculations and theoretical analysis, we propose a new family of …
