Wave propagation in periodic media is governed by energy-momentum relation and geometric phases characterizing band topology, such as Zak phase in one-dimensional lattices. We demonstrate that in the off-diagonal trimer lattices Zak phase…

We investigate the spectral properties of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with sublattice-dependent onsite nonlinearity. Two complementary approaches are employed in our studies. First, Bloch state solutions under periodic boundary…

Nonlinear stripe patterns occur in many different systems, from the small scales of biological cells to geological scales as cloud patterns. They all share the universal property of being stable at different wavenumbers $q$, i.e., they are…

The symmetry-constrained topological invariant fails to explain the emergence of the special edge modes when system does not preserve discrete symmetries. The inversion or chiral symmetry broken SSH model is an example of one such system…

Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains are the simplest model systems that display topological edge states. We calculate high-harmonic spectra of SSH chains that are coupled to an external laser field of a frequency much smaller than the band…

Terahertz (THz) communication and the application of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology have been proved significant for the sixth generation (6G) communication systems, and have gained global interests. In this paper,…

As energy dissipation and gain are ubiquitous in the real world, such phenomena demand the generalization of Hermitian methods such as the analysis of topological properties for non-Hermitian systems. However, as non-Hermitian systems…

Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains are paradigmatic examples of 1D topological insulators hosting zero-energy edge modes when the bulk of the system has a non-zero topological winding invariant. Recently, high-harmonic spectroscopy has been…

Recently, Shih et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 146401 (2010)] published a theoretical band gap for wurtzite ZnO, calculated with the non-selfconsistent GW approximation, that agreed surprisingly well with experiment while deviating strongly…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic slabs and metasurfaces appear as polarization singularities in momentum space, characterized by an integer winding number. This winding is widely treated as a robust topological label,…

The use of skew polynomial rings allows to endow linear codes with cyclic structures which are not cyclic in the classical (commutative) sense. Whenever these skew cyclic structures are carefully chosen, some control over the Hamming…

The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger(SSH) model has been widely used to study the topological property of 1D systems. It is claimed that there is fractional charge at the boundary of the nontrivial phase while none at that of trivial phase. However,…

Bloch waves in 1D periodic systems carry Zak phase, which plays a key role in determining the band topology. In general, for systems that possess inversion symmetry, the Zak phase of an isolated band is quantized as 0 or Pi and is…

We present a continuous non-local model that faithfully replicates the rich topological and spectral features of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. Remarkably, our model shares the SSH models bulk energy spectrum, eigenstates, and Zak…

Transfer matrix methods and intersection theory are used to calculate the bands of edge states for a wide class of periodic two-dimensional tight-binding models including a sublattice and spin degree of freedom. This allows to define…

We demonstrate the possibility of engineering the topological band structure of a plasmonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain through the interaction with its electromagnetic environment. We find that the long-range interaction of the…

We study numerically the critical region and the disordered phase of the random transverse-field Ising chain. By using a mapping of Lieb, Schultz and Mattis to non-interacting fermions, we can obtain a numerically exact solution for rather…

We study topological properties of phase transition points of one-dimensional topological quantum phase transitions by assigning winding numbers defined on closed circles around the gap closing points in the parameter space of momentum and…

We construct a generalized transfer matrix corresponding to noninteracting tight-binding lattice models, which can subsequently be used to compute the bulk bands as well as the edge states. Crucially, our formalism works even in cases where…

In this work, we develop a systematical approach of constructing and classifying the model Hamiltonians for two-dimensional (2D) higher-order topological phase with corner zero energy states (CZESs). Our approach is based on the direct…
