Outline of Final Research Achievements

Dense triangular lattice 2D materials of group III, IV, and V of periodic table were not expected to be stable. However, our study has shown that owing to crucial substrate interaction (SiC substrate), this form is most stable compared to conventionally expected honeycomb lattice. The electron interaction in these materials have a very peculiar nature. We still have Dirac-like electronic dispersion, however, unlike in graphene, caused by in-plane orbitals. Spin-orbit interaction results in appearance of two types of spin polarized states. The phenomenon which has been not observed before and change our understanding of symmetry in electronic interactions. Though experiments have been performed on tin layers only, extensive calculations show very large class of materials behaving in similar manner, revealing the fundamental nature of phenomena. With proper material engineering technique, this can open a range of practical applications of these materials in novel spintronic devices.
