Piezoelectricity and topological quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional spin-orbit coupled crystals with time-reversal symmetry

The linear response and topological electronic properties of a material both depend on the underlying crystal symmetry. Here the authors study how topological phase transitions in two-dimensional materials manifest themselves in the piezoelectric response.
