Unconventional Weyl phonons with higher topological charges in crystalline solids have attracted increasing attention. By symmetry analysis and low-energy $k.p$ effective Hamiltonian, we propose the symmetry enforced triple hourglass Weyl…
In spinful electronic systems, time-reversal symmetry makes that all Kramers pairs at the time-reversal-invariant momenta are Weyl points (WPs) in chiral crystals. Here, we find that such symmetry-enforced WPs can also emerge in bosonic…
Unconventional Weyl point with nonlinear dispersion features higher topological charge $|{\cal{C}}|>1$ and multiple topologically protected Fermi arc states at its boundary. As a novel topological state, it has been attracting widespread…
By using \emph{ab initio} calculations and symmetry analysis, we define a new class of Weyl phonons, i.e., isolated Weyl phonons (IWPs), which are characterized by Chern number $\pm$2 or $\pm$4 in their acoustic phononic spectra and…
Nontrivial low-energy excitations of crystalline solids have insightfully strengthened understanding of elementary particles in quantum field theory. Usually, topological quasiparticles are mainly focused on fermions in topological…
A pair of Weyl points (WPs) with opposite Chern numbers ${\cal{C}}$ can exhibit an additional higher-order $Z_2$ topological charge, giving rise to the formation of a $Z_2$ Weyl dipole. Owing to the nontrivial topological charge, $Z_2$ Weyl…
Very recently, novel quasiparticles beyond those mimicking the elementary high-energy particles such as Dirac and Weyl fermions have attracted great interest in condensed matter physics and materials science1-9. Here we report the first…
Topological interpretations of phonons facilitate a new platform for novel concepts in phonon physics. Though there are ubiquitous set of reports on topological electronic excitations, the same for phonons are extremely limited. Here, we…
Condensed matter systems have now become a fertile ground to discover emerging topological quasi-particles with symmetry protected modes. While many studies have focused on Fermionic excitations, the same conceptual framework can also be…
Topological states of electrons and photons have attracted significant interest recently. Topological mechanical states also being actively explored, have been limited to macroscopic systems of kHz frequency. The discovery of topological…
The band complex formed by multiple topological states has attracted extensive attention for the emergent properties produced by the interplay among the constituent states. Here, based on group theory analysis, we present a scheme for…
In analogy to various fermions of electrons in topological semimetals, topological mechanical states with two type of bosons, Dirac and Weyl bosons, were reported in some macroscopic systems of kHz frequency and those with a type of…
Recently, Wang et al. [Phys. Rev. B, 106, 195129 (2022)] challenged a widely held belief in the field of Weyl physics, demonstrating that single-pair-Weyl-points (SP-WPs) can exist in nonmagnetic spinless systems, contrary to previous…
Chirality is an indispensable concept that pervades fundamental science and nature, manifesting itself in diverse forms such as chiral quasiparticles and chiral structures. Of particular interest are Weyl phonons carrying specific Chern…
To observe the Weyl phonon (WP) with the maximum charge and to design a realistic material structure containing only single-pair-WPs have long been considered two challenges in the field of topology physics. Here we have successfully…
Intuitively, the dispersion characteristics of Weyl nodes with opposite charges in single-pair charge-2 Weyl semimetals are the same, quadratic or linear. We theoretically predicted that single-pair hybrid charge-2 Weyl semimetals (the…
We consider theoretically surface plasmon polaritons in Weyl semimetals. These materials contain pairs of band touching points - Weyl nodes - with a chiral topological charge, which induces an optical anisotropy and anomalous transport…
Weyl semimetals are extraordinary systems where exotic phenomena such as Fermi arcs, pseudo-gauge fields and quantum anomalies arise from topological band degeneracy in crystalline solids for electrons and metamaterials for photons and…
Unconventional Weyl points (WPs), carrying topological charge 2 or higher, possess interesting properties different from ordinary charge-1 WPs, including multiple Fermi arcs that stretch over a large portion of the Brillouin zone. Thus far,…
Spin-1 Weyl point is formed by three bands touching at a single point in the three dimensional (3D) momentum space, with two of which show cone-like dispersion while the third band is flat. Such a triply degenerate point carries higher…
