Abstract

The high-order harmonic generation in finite topological nanoribbons is investigated using a tight-binding description. The ribbons consist of hexagons and are almost one-dimensional. Two edge states emerge at the short edges of the ribbon after a gap closure between valence and conduction band, indicating a topological phase transition. The energies of those edge states as functions of the tight-binding parameters display crossings and avoided crossings, which influence the high-harmonic spectra.
