Driving a GaAs film to a large-gap topological insulator by tensile strain

Search for materials with a large nontrivial band gap is quite crucial for the realization of the devices using quantum spin Hall (QSH) effects. From first-principles calculations combined with a tight-binding (TB) model, we demonstrate that a trivial GaAs film with atomic thickness can be driven to...
