             Rare-earth monopnictides (RE-Vs) are semimetals with low charge carrier concentration due to a small overlap between electron and hole pockets.
             Thin films of RE-V semimetals are expected to turn into semiconductors due to quantum confinement effects (QCE), lifting the overlap between electron pockets at Brillouin zone edges (X) and hole pockets at the zone center (Γ).    
-            In this project, we have shown that, contrary to conventional expectation, bulk semimetallic rare-earth monopnictides (RE-V) could be transitioned to a quantum spin Hall insulator phase in ultra-thin films.<br>
-            This is attributed to a strong QCE on the in-plane electron pockets and the lack of quantum confinement on the out-of-plane pocket projected onto the zone center, resulting in a band inversion.
-            Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) opens a sizable nontrivial gap in the band structure of ultrathin films.
-            Such effect is anticipated to be general in rare-earth monopnictides and may lead to interesting phenomena when coupled with the 4f magnetic moments present in other members of this family of materials.
