The topological invariants of a periodic system can be used to define the topological phase of each band and determine the existence of topological interface states within a certain bandgap. Here, we propose a scheme based on the full phase…

The mixed diamond chain is a frustrated Heisenberg chain composed of successive diamond-shaped units with two kinds of spins of magnitudes S and S/2 (S: integer). Ratio $lambda$ of two exchange parameters controls the strength of…
