Abstract

Topological phase transitions are predicted to emerge at the broken-gap junction between technologically relevant materials, namely thin epitaxial films of GeSn alloys deposited on Si. Robust theoretical methods are employed to demonstrate how strain and electric fields can be utilized to dynamically reconfigure these Si-compatible heterostructures into a quantum spin Hall insulator.
