Figure 4

Calcuated energy bands for the undistorted (a) and distorted (b) structures of Bi2Se3, corresponding to the Γ point optical mode associated with the inversion breaking dispacement of Bi atom along z-axis. Illustrated are the splitting of double degenerate bands as well as renormalization of their width that result in a large EPI.
