Chirality of topological gap solitons in bosonic dimer chains

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2017-01-18 v2

Abstract

We study gap solitons which appear in the topological gap of 1D bosonic dimer chains within the mean-field approximation. We find that such solitons have a non-trivial texture of the sublattice pseudospin. We reveal their chiral nature by demonstrating the anisotropy of their behavior in presence of a localized energy potential.
