bandgap of 3.83 eV, some midgapstates emerge after the interstitial doping of Eu. The energy bandgap of the host at the vicinity of doped region increases to 4.28 eV. The band and orbital decomposed charge density presented in Figure 5b shows that the midgap state is formed by strongly hybridized Eu and

In 1982, Thouless et al. [1] made a
recently studied band-inverted junctions based on IV–VI compounds using a two-band model when an electric field is applied along the growth direction [25]. We have demonstrated that the Dirac cone of midgapstates is robust against moderate values of the electric field but Fermi’s velocity decreases
addition, we focus on states close to one of the L points of the Brillouin zone [8] and neglect other valleys in what follows since midgapstates are stable against gap opening by valley mixing. Also notice that only linear momentum terms are taken into account in Equation 2 but quadratic momentum terms
