(color online) The band structure along Y′ΓY path (a) and the three-dimensional plotting of the corresponding Dirac cone (b) for the free-standing (3, 3) PGS. Those for the (3, 3) PGS under 4% σz strain are shown in panels (c) and (d), respectively. The band-decomposed charge densities at isovalue of ∼ 0.01 e/Å3 for the split πa and πz bands are presented in panels (e) and (f), respectively. Both top and side views are shown.
