Using the full-potential linerized augumented plane-wave method based on the density function theory, we theoretically predict the Heusler compound Lu2FePb is a new three-dimensional topological insulator system. We also point out that the spin-orbit coupling is not the leading cause but an account can add further fuel to the band inversion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
