Massive Dirac fermions, which are essential for realizing novel topological phenomena, are expected to be generated from massless Dirac fermions by breaking the related symmetry, such as time-reversal symmetry in topological insulators or crystal symmetry in topological crystalline insulators. Here, we report scanning tunneling microscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies of α-Bi_{4}I_{4}, which reveals the realization of massive Dirac fermions in the (100) surface states without breaking the time-reversal symmetry. Combined with first-principles calculations, our experimental results indicate that the spontaneous symmetry breaking engenders two nondegenerate edge states at the opposite sides of monolayer Bi_{4}I_{4} after the structural phase transition, imparting mass to the Dirac fermions after taking the interlayer coupling into account.

This study presents a theoretical examination of the electronic band structure of AA (AB) stacked bilayer blue phosphorus system within the fifth intralayer (5NN) and second interlayer nearest-neighbor (2NN) multi-orbital tight-binding (MOTB) approach. The variation of energy levels has been investigated through the symmetrical tensile strain of the low-buckled honeycomb lattice. Here, the primary objective is to examine the existence of Dirac electronic features in hexagonal stacked bilayer geometry.

In this study, using the tight-binding model and Green's function technique, we investigate potential electronic phase transitions in bilayer 6 borophene under the influence of external stimuli, including a perpendicular electric field, electron-hole coupling between sublayers (excitonic effects), and dopants. Our focus is on key electronic properties such as the band structure and density of states. Our findings reveal that the pristine lattice is metal with Dirac cones around the Fermi level, where their intersection forms a nodal line.

In this Letter, we present the α^{'}-exact background equations of motion of the bosonic chiral string (also known as Hohm-Siegel-Zwiebach model), with the spin-two ghost fields integrated out. This is the first instance of a world sheet model in which all corrections are fully determined in a generic curved spacetime. As a concrete cross-check, we find complete agreement between all three-point and a sample of four-point tree-level scattering amplitudes computed using field theory methods and the chiral string prescription.
