Title: Robustness of type-II Dirac cones in biphenylene-based structures
(Submitted on 28 Mar 2024)
Abstract: The electronic properties of one- and two-dimensional biphenylene-based systems, such as nanoribbons and bilayers, are studied within a unified approach. Besides the bilayer with direct (AA) stacking, we present two additional symmetric stackings for bilayer biphenylene that we denote by AB, by analogy with bilayer graphene, and AX, which can be derived by a small translation (slip) from the AA bilayer, with distinct band structures. We combine first-principles calculations with a tight-binding model to provide a realistic effective description of these structures. Our approach provides a global framework to characterize and analyze the robustness of the type-II Dirac cone within these structures, captures the variations caused by different stackings, and highlights important symmetries inherent in the biphenylene nanoribbon Dirac cones and edge states.
