The recent discovery of topological insulators has revived interest in the topological properties of insulating band structures. In this work, we extend the topological classification of insulating band structures to include certain point…

Recently, the topological physics in artificial crystals for classical waves has become an emerging research area. In this Letter, we propose a unique bilayer design of sonic crystals that are constructed by two layers of coupled hexagonal…

Crystalline topological insulators have recently become a powerful platform for realizing photonic topological states from microwaves to the visible. Appropriate geometric symmetries of the lattice are at the core of their functionality.…

Phononic crystals enable precise manipulation of elastic wave propagation through engineered bandgaps; however, designing defect states within these bandgaps for frequency-selective applications remains a significant challenge. Existing…

Topological crystalline insulators are a class of materials with a bulk energy gap and edge or surface modes, which are protected by crystalline symmetry, at their boundaries. They have been realized in electronic systems: in particular, in…

We create hybrid topological-photonic localisation of light by introducing concepts from the field of topological matter to that of photonic crystal fiber arrays. S-polarized obliquely propagating electromagnetic waves are guided by…

Designing photonic topological insulators is highly non-trivial because it requires inversion of band symmetries around the band gap, which was so far done using intuition combined with meticulous trial and error. Here we take a completely…

When semi-infinite phononic crystals (PCs) are in contact, localized modes may exist at their boundary. The central question is generally to predict their existence and to determine their stability. With the rapid expansion of the field of…

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…

Nonlinear phononics relies on the resonant optical excitation of infrared-active lattice vibrations to coherently induce targeted structural deformations in solids. This form of dynamical crystal-structure design has been applied to control…

Topological insulators are most frequently constructed using lattices with specific degeneracies in their linear spectra, such as Dirac points. For a broad class of lattices, such as honeycomb ones, these points and associated Dirac cones…

The use of phononic crystals for vibration attenuation and isolation has been widely studied, showing that the attenuation frequency range depends on their mass and stiffness. The concepts of chirality and tacticity have been introduced…

Photonic crystals have been demonstrated as a versatile platform for the study of topological phenomena. The recent discovery of higher order topological insulators introduces new aspects of topological photonic crystals which are yet to be…

A Cm planar photonic material (two-dimensional) including the mirror reflection symmetry is explored where in the Dirac cones appeared at the high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone boundary. By implementing the specific perturbation on…

Topological phonons in crystalline materials have been attracting great interest. However, most cases studied so far are direct generalizations of the topological states from electronic systems. Here, we reveal a novel class of topological…

In this study, we investigate a one-dimensional (1D) unidirectional phononic waveguide embedded within a three-dimensional (3D) hexagonal close-packed phononic crystal, achieved by the introduction of a screw dislocation. This approach does…

We consider weak topological insulators with a twofold rotation symmetry around the dark direction, and show that these systems can be endowed with the topological crystalline structure of a higher-order topological insulator protected by…

Phononic metamaterials have attracted extensive attention since they are exibly adjustable to control the phonon transmission. In this work, we study a one-dimensional phononic metamaterial, made of mechanical resonant oscillators and…

Defect modes in two-dimensional periodic photonic structures have found use in a highly diverse set of optical devices. For example, photonic crystal cavities confine optical modes to subwavelength volumes and can be used for Purcell…

The resonance modes and the related effects to the transmission of elastic waves in a two dimensional phononic crystal formed by periodic arrangements of a two blocks unit cell in one direction are studied. The unit cell consists of two…
