(color online) Schematics of a BHL with Bernal stacking. (a) t is the in-plane nearest-neighbor hopping energy, and is used as the energy unit. A₁ (A₂) is the sublattice containing the dimer sites with hopping energy t₁ in layer 1 (layer 2), while B₁ (B₂) is the sublattice containing the non-dimer sites with trigonal hopping energy t₃ in layer 1 (layer 2). “Case A” represents that the magnetic impurity is coupled to a site on sublattice A₁, while “case B” represents the coupling with a site on sublattice B₁. (b) Top view of the Bernal-stacked BHL.
