Finite size effects on the helical edge states on the Lieb lattice |
(a) A two-dimensional Lieb lattice. The unit cell contains three atoms: A (green dots), B (blue dots), and C (red dots). The solid lines represent NN hopping, and the dashed lines represent the NNN hopping with ISO coupling. (b) Scheme of the strip lattice with the straight edges. Both sides (the upper and lower boundaries in the |
