The results of mean-field self-consistent calculations. (a) Without the intrinsic SOC and electric field, the band gaps at K and K ′ as functions of the Hubbard U . (b) Without the intrinsic SOC, the band gaps for different spins as functions of the electric potential for U = 2.492 eV. (c) With the intrinsic SOC and zero electric field, the band gaps at K and K ′ as functions of the Hubbard U , and the edge states for U = 2.45 eV and U = 2.492 eV in panel (d). With the intrinsic SOC, the band gaps at K and K ′ with respect to the electric potential are given in panels (e) and (f) for U = 2.45 eV and U = 2.492 eV respectively.
