Physical Review B (2026)
Here, the authors investigate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects in kagome-type IAMX materials through a combination of theoretical modeling and first-principles calculations (IA = alkali metal, M = rare earth metal, and X = carbon group element). By developing a minimal four-band spinful model, the study captures SOC-induced topological phase transitions, illustrating the continuous evolution of phase diagrams and topological surface states. The model is supported by systematic DFT calculations across different materials, bridging theoretical models with real-world materials. This research serves as a valuable guide for leveraging IAMX materials in multifunctional device applications.
