Higher-order topological corner states and origin in monolayer LaBrO

扫码查看
Intrinsic higher-order topological insulators driven solely by orbital coupling are rare in electronic materials.Here,we propose that monolayer LaBrO is an intrinsic two-dimensional second-order topological insulator.The generalized second-order topological phase arises from the coupling between the 5d orbital of the La atom and the 2p orbital of the O atom.The underlying physics can be thoroughly described by a four-band generalized higher-order topological model.Notably,the edge states and corner states of monolayer LaBrO exhibit different characteristics in terms of morphology,number,and location distribution under different boundary and nanocluster configurations.Furthermore,the higher-order topological corner states of monolayer LaBrO are robust against variations in spin-orbit coupling and different values of Hubbard U.This provides a material platform for studying intrinsic 2D second-order topological insulators.
