Abstract

We introduce the notion of topological electronic states on random lattices in non-integer dimensions. By considering a class DD model on critical percolation clusters embedded in two dimensions, we demonstrate that these topological random fractals exhibit a robust mobility gap, support quantized conductance and represent a well-defined thermodynamic phase of matter. The finite-size scaling analysis further suggests that the critical properties are not consistent with the class DD systems in two dimensions. Our results establish topological random fractals as the most complex systems known to support nontrivial band topology with their distinct unique properties.
