Topological phase boundary in a generalized Kitaev model
Liu Da-Ping†,
       

The phase diagram of the model. The phase boundary in which the gap closes are obtained from Z(0) = 0 and Z(π/2a) = 0. The parameters are chosen as: (a) tA = 0, tB = 0; (b) tA = 0.1t, tB = −0.1t; (c) tA = 0.5t, tB = 0.5t; (d) tA = 1.25t, tB = 0.8t, respectively. The change of phase transformation points which is caused by the NNN hopping can be described by a shift of chemical potential.
