Using first-principles calculations, we propose a series of new elemental bilayers with group V elements (Bi, Sb, As). Our study reveals the dynamical stability of 4, 6, and 8-atom ring structures, demonstrating their possible coexistence in such bilayer systems. The proposed structures for Sb and As are large-gap semiconductors that are potentially interesting for applications in future nanodevices. The Bi structures have nontrivial topological properties with a large and direct nontrivial band gap. The nontrivial gap is shown to arise from a band inversion at the Brillouin zone center due to the strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in Bi atoms. Moreover, we demonstrate the possibility to tune the properties of these materials by enhancing the ratio of 6-atom rings to 4 and 8-atom rings, which results in wider nontrivial band gaps and lower formation energies.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.03550v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.03550v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"new-group-v-elemental-bilayers-a-tunable","repo_url":"https://github.com/quanshengwu/wannier_tools","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
