Descrição: dc.descriptionWe use ab initio simulations to investigate the incorporation of pyridine molecules (C5H5N) in the van der Waals (vdW) gaps of Bi2Se3. The intercalated pyridine molecules increase the separation distance between the Bi2Se3 quintuple layers (QLs), suppressing the parity inversion of the electronic states at the Γ-point. We find that (i) the intercalated region becomes a trivial insulator. By combining the pristine Bi2Se3 region with the one intercalated by the molecules (py-Bi2Se3), we have a trivial/topological heterojunction (py-Bi2Se3/Bi2Se3) characterized by the presence of topologically protected metallic states at the interfacial region. Next, (ii) we apply an external compressive pressure to the system, and the results are a decrease of the separation distance between the QLs intercalated by pyridine molecules, and the metallic states are shifted toward the bulk region, turning the system back to the insulator. Our findings indicate that, through the intercalation of pyridine molecules in Bi2Se3 [(i)], we may have a number of topologically protected metallic channels embedded in (py-Bi2Se3) m /(Bi2Se3) n heterostructures/superlattices, in addition, through suitable tuning of the external pressure [(ii)], we can control its topological properties, turning on and off the topologically protected metallic states in (py-Bi2Se3) m /(Bi2Se3) n .-
