The properties that distinguish topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) and topological insulators (TIs) rely on crystalline symmetry and time-reversal symmetry, respectively, which encodes different surface/edge properties. Here, we predict theoretically that TlM, thallium chalcogenide, (M = S and Se) (110) monolayers realize a family of two-dimensional (2D) TCIs characterized by mirror Chern number CM =−2 with an even number of band inversions. [1] Remarkably, under uniaxial strain (≈ 1%), a topological phase transition between 2D TCI and 2D TI is revealed in TlM. In contrast, for Na3Bi, the band inversion occur at single k point, thus a coexistence of 2D TI and 2D TCI is obtained. [2] Finally, we show different edge-state behaviors, especially at the time reversal invariant points.

This work was supported by SPP 1666 of the DFG.
