Phys. Rev. B, 90, 121408 (2014)]. However, the small bulk-gap limits its possible applications at room temperature. Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that its band gap can be enhanced to 148 meV under methyl-functionalization, which can be further tuned by applying lattice strain. The QSHE is confirmed by s-p x,y band inversion, topological invariant Z 2 = 1, and helical gapless edge within bulk band gap.Notably, the characteristic properties of edge states, such as the large Fermi velocity and Dirac cone, can be modulated by edge modification. The effects of substrates on topological properties are explored when it is grown on various substrates, like SiC, h-BN, and Bi 2 Te 3 sheets. These findings provide significant guidance for future fabrication and realistic applications of QSHE based on stanene in spintronics.
