The study of band topology in photonic crystals was primarily focused on near-field effects, including edge states and high order corner states. However, this work investigated the polarization distribution of radiated fields for photonic…
Zirconium pentatelluride was recently reported to be a 3D Dirac semimetal, with a single conical band, located at the center of the Brillouin zone. The cone's lack of protection by the lattice symmetry immediately sparked vast discussions…
We show that Dirac fermion systems in two dimensions generally exhibit disorder-induced nodal arc replacing the nodal point and tilted Dirac cone, provided that the two components of the Dirac fermion correspond to two distinct orbitals…
The energy spectra for the tight-binding models on the Lieb and kagom\'e lattices both exhibit a flat band. We present a model which continuously interpolates between these two limits. The flat band located in the middle of the three-band…
Magnetic texturing on the surface of a topological insulator allows the design of wave guide networks and beam splitters for domain-wall Dirac fermions. Guided by simple analytic arguments we model a Dirac fermion interferometer consisting…
Flat electronic bands can accommodate a plethora of interaction driven quantum phases, since kinetic energy is quenched therein and electronic interactions therefore prevail. Twisted bilayer graphene, near so-called the "magic angles",…
It has recently been predicted that a conical singularity (= Dirac point) in the band structure of a photonic crystal produces an unusual 1/L scaling of the photon flux transmitted through a slab of thickness L. This inverse-linear scaling…
Dirac semimetals host bulk band-touching Dirac points and a surface Fermi loop. We develop a theory of superconducting Dirac semimetals. Establishing a relation between the Dirac points and the surface Fermi loop, we clarify how the…
We theoretically study the electronic structure of interface states in twisted stacks of three-dimensional topological insulators. When the center of the surface Dirac cone is located at a midpoint of a side of BZ boundary, we find that an…
Wave dynamics in topological materials has been widely studied recently. A striking feature is the existence of robust and chiral wave propagations that have potential applications in many fields. A common way to realize such wave patterns…
The electronic structure of iron pnictides is topologically nontrivial, leading to the appearance of Dirac cones in the band structure for the antiferromagnetic phase. Motivated by the analogy with Dirac cones in graphene, we explore the…
We demonstrate how to control the spectra and current flow of Dirac electrons in both a graphene sheet and a topological insulator by applying either two linearly polarized laser fields with frequencies $\omega$ and $2\omega$ or a…
Three-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by insulating bulk state and metallic surface state involving Dirac fermions that behave as massless relativistic particles. These Dirac fermions are responsible for achieving a…
Patterning graphene with a spatially-periodic potential provides a powerful means to modify its electronic properties. Dramatic effects have been demonstrated in twisted bilayers where coupling to the resulting moir\'e-superlattice yields…
A new class of multi-scale structures, referred to as `parabolic metamaterials' is introduced and studied in this paper. For an elastic two-dimensional triangular lattice, we identify dynamic regimes, which corresponds to so-called `Dirac…
In this chapter, criteria for existence of propagating optical modes which are transversely bound at the interface of two materials are studied. In particular, quite general cases are considered, where the materials involved are assumed to…
Dielectric microcavities based on cylindrical and deformed cylindrical shapes have been employed as resonators for microlasers. Such systems support spiral resonances with finite momentum along the cylinder axis. For such modes the boundary…
Electrons hopping on the sites of a two-dimensional Lieb lattice and three-dimensional edge centered cubic (perovskite) lattice are shown to form topologically non-trivial insulating phases when spin-orbit coupling is introduced. These…
Weak topological insulators possess a symmetry related set of Dirac-Weyl cones in the surface Brillouin zone, implying misorientation between the principle axis of the low energy manifold of the bulk and the surface normal. We show that…
We analyze the electronic structure in the three-dimensional (3D) crystal formed by the $sp^2$ hybridized orbitals ($K_4$ crystal), by the tight-binding approach based on the first-principles calculation. We discover that the bulk…
