Abstract

The Quantum Spin Hall Effect (QSHE) has become a very interesting area of Condensed Matter Physics, due to the fact that it could change the paradigms of nanoelectronics. The electric current predicted by the QSHE would flow without dissipation. Beside the potential applications in technology, the effect has triggered a completely new research area, called topological insulators. Many of these materials have been predicted by computer simulations before being experimentally synthesized, demonstrating the importance of theoretical calculations in this new area. In this project we intend to study, through first principle calculations, the band properties of different 2D and 3D materials, with the aim of detecting possible new topological insulators. We also pretend to find descriptors for some of the properties of these materials, for a possible systematization in the search within the big-data project. (AU)
