(a) The crystal structure of PbX with space group (b) First Brillouin zone (BZ) of bulk and the projected surface BZ on (001) and (111) planes. There are four L points (L1, L2, L3, L4) in the bulk first BZ. For the (001) face, L1 and L2 are projected to the , while L3 and L4 are projected to another . For the (111) face, L3 is projected to , while L1, L2 and L4 are projected to The light yellow region is invariant under the mirror symmetry .
