摘要：

We investigate the crossover regime from three-dimensional topological insulators Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3 to two-dimensional topological insulators with quantum spin Hall effect when the layer thickness is reduced. Using both analytical models and first-principles calculations, we find that the crossover occurs in an oscillatory fashion as a function of the layer thickness, alternating between topologically trivial and nontrivial two-dimensional behavior.
