Abstract Based on first-principles calculations, we investigate the electronic band structures and topological properties of heterostructure BiTeCl/HfTe$_{2}$ under $c$-direction strain. In the primitive structure, this material undergoes a phase transition from an insulator with a narrow indirect gap to a metal by strong spin-orbital coupling. When strain effect is considered, band inversion at time-reversal invariant point $Z$ is responsible for the topological phase transition. These nontrivial topologies are caused by two different types of band crossings. The observable topological surface states in (110) surface also support that this material experiences topological phase transition twice. The layered heterostructure with van der Waals force provides us with a new desirable platform upon which to control topological phase transition and construct topological superconductors.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
