(color online) (a) Hexagonal unit cell of bulk X (X = As, Sb) and the X atoms in the (110) plane marked within the blue cuboid. (b) Diagram of the decorated XD (D = H, Cl, Br) structure from top view and side view respectively. The inversion center is marked in the red point in the unit cell of XD. Blue represents X atoms and green refers to D atoms. (c) Phonon bands of As–Cl film.
