We predict from first-principles calculations a novel structure of stanene with dumbbell units (DB), and show that it is a two-dimensional topological insulator with inverted band gap which can be tuned by compressive strain. Furthermore, we propose
that the boron nitride sheet and reconstructed ($2times2$) InSb(111) surfaces are ideal substrates for the experimental realization of DB stanene, maintaining its non-trivial topology. Combined with standard semiconductor technologies, such as magnetic doping and electrical gating, the quantum anomalous Hall effect, Chern half metallicity and topological superconductivity can be realized in DB stanene on those substrates. These properties make the two-dimensional supported stanene a good platform for the study of new quantum spin Hall insulator as well as other exotic quantum states of matter.
