Topologically gapless edge states, characterized by topological invariants and Berry's phases of bulk energy bands, provide amazing techniques to robustly control the reflectionless propagation of electrons, photons and phonons. Recently, a…

Floquet insulators are periodically driven quantum systems that can host novel topological phases as a function of the drive parameters. These new phases exhibit features reminiscent of fermion doubling in discrete-time lattice fermion…

Floquet topological insulators have been widely investigated in lower-dimensional systems. However, Floquet topological insulators induced by time-periodic driving in higher-dimensional systems remain unexplored. In this work, we study the…

In this paper, we study the existence of Floquet topological insulators for PT symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We consider an array of waveguide in 1D with periodically changing non-Hermitian potential and predict the existence of…

Hosting unique drumhead surface states enclosed by nodal lines, topological nodal-line semimetals exhibit novel transport phenomena. Thus, the exploration of topological semimetals with different nodal-line structures has attracted much…

A second-order topological insulator (SOTI) in $d$ spatial dimensions features topologically protected gapless states at its $(d-2)$-dimensional boundary at the intersection of two crystal faces, but is gapped otherwise. As a novel…

Based on renormalization-group (RG) calculations, a recent Letter by Zhao et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 176601 (2021)] claimed that three-dimensional second-order topological insulators (SOTIs) are always unstable to the Coulomb interaction…

Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic second-order topological insulators (SOTIs) exhibit distinct topological phases characterized by spin-polarized zero-dimensional (0D) corner states, which have garnered significant interest. However, 2D…

The discovery of higher-order topological insulator (HOTI) has established a new paradigm for understanding symmetry-constrained boundary electronic states. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we demonstrate the emergence of HOTI…

Floquet systems are governed by periodic, time-dependent, Hamiltonians. Prima facie they should absorb energy from the external drives involved in modulating their couplings and heat up to infinite temperature. However this unhappy state of…

We report the discovery of several classes of novel topological insulators (TIs) with hybrid-order boundary states generated from the first-order TIs with additional crystalline symmetries. Unlike the current studies on hybrid-order TIs…

Point-gap topological phases of non-Hermitian systems exhibit exotic boundary states that have no counterparts in Hermitian systems. Here, we develop classification of second-order point-gap topological phases protected by reflection…

Disorder effects on three-dimensional second-order topological insulators (3DSOTIs) are investigated numerically and analytically. The study is based on a tight-binding Hamiltonian for non-interacting electrons on a cubic lattice with a…

Higher-order topological~(HOT) states,~hosting topologically protected modes on lower-dimensional boundaries,~such as hinges and corners, have recently extended the realm of the static topological phases.~Here we demonstrate the possibility…

We theoretically investigate a two-dimensional decorated honeycomb lattice framework to realize a second-order topological magnon insulator (SOTMI) phase featuring distinct corner-localized modes. Our study emphasizes the pivotal role of…

Time-periodic driving of a quantum system can enable new dynamical topological phases of matter that could not exist in thermal equilibrium. We investigate two related classes of dynamical topological phenomena in 2D systems: Floquet…

The presence of random disorder in a metallic system accounts for the localization of extended states in general. On the contrary, the presence of disorder can induce topological phases hosting metallic boundary states out of a…

For spinful systems with spin 1/2, it is generally believed that P and T invariant strong and second-order topologies exist in four band and eight band system, respectively. Here, by using periodic driving, we find it is possible to have…

The interplay between Floquet driving and non-Hermitian gain/loss could give rise to intriguing phenomena including topological funneling of light, edge-state delocalization, anomalous topological transitions and Floquet non-Hermitian skin…

Periodic driving of a quantum system can enable new topological phases with no analog in static systems. In this paper we systematically classify one-dimensional topological and symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in interacting…
