Finite size effects on the quantum spin Hall state in HgTe quantum wells under two different types of boundary conditions*
Cheng Zhi, Chen Rui, Zhou Bin†
       
(a) The dependence of the position of Dirac point E d on the width W of the NI region in a symmetry geometry, for the width L of the TI region being 1000 nm; (b) the dependence of energy gap E g of the edge states due to the finite-size effect on the width W of the NI region in a symmetry geometry, for the width L being 200 nm. Here it is assumed that Δ = R = 0.
