Surface State Electronic Characteristics and \(\mathbb {Z}_2\) Topological Invariant of \(Bi_2Te_3\) Topological Insulator Through PBE and LmBJ Potential
摘要
A topological insulator (TI) is characterized by its band inversion (in its bulk) which is caused by the strong spin-orbit interaction and an exotic metallic state in its surface. In this work, using a DFT study, we prove that
