Abstract:Although many Dirac semimetals (DSMs) have been theoretically
proposed,
the ideal Dirac fermions coexisting with Dirac phonons in a DSM are
rare. In this work, we proposed a general strategy to assemble two-dimensional
(2D) ideal DSMs using the cluster of transition metal boride with
an inverse sandwich configuration. We illustrated this strategy using
first-principles calculations, resulting in the creation of a 2D titanium
diboride named 2c-TiB2 with a space group
of P21/c. This monolayer
was found to be the… Show more
