Chern insulators exhibit fascinating properties which originate from the topologically nontrivial state characterized by the Chern number. How these properties change if the system is quenched between topologically distinct phases has…
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…
Higher-order topological materials with topologically protected states at the boundaries of their boundaries (hinges or corners) have attracted attention in recent years. In this paper, we utilize time-periodic driving to generate…
We propose the realization of interaction-driven insulators in periodically strained monolayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Through extensive many-body exact diagonalization, we provide compelling evidence for…
The Chern number is a crucial topological invariant for distinguishing the phases of Chern insulators. Here we find that for Chern insulators with inversion symmetry, the Chern number alone is insufficient to fully characterize their…
We propose a simple scheme for the realization of a topological quasienergy band structure with ultracold atoms in a periodically driven optical square lattice. It is based on a circular lattice shaking in the presence of a superlattice…
Two-dimensional Euler insulators are novel kind of systems that host multi-gap topological phases, quantified by a quantised first Euler number in their bulk. Recently, these phases have been experimentally realised in suitable…
The high-Chern number phases with a Chern number C>1 have been observed in a recent experiment that performed on the topological insulator (TI) multilayer structures, consisting of the alternating magnetic-doped and undoped TI layers. In…
We propose and analyse an efficient scheme for simulating higher-order topological phases of matter in two dimensional (2D) spin-phononic crystal networks. We show that, through a specially designed periodic driving, one can selectively…
Here we study the systematic evolution of the topological properties of a Chern insulator in presence of an electronic dispersion that can be tuned smoothly from being Dirac-like till a semi-Dirac one and beyond. The band structure under…
Second-order topological insulator (SOTI) is featured with the presence of $(d-2)$-dimensional boundary states in $d$-dimension systems. The non-Hermiticity induced breakdown of bulk-boundary correspondence (BBC) and the periodic driving on…
Two-dimensional (2D) semi-Dirac materials are characterized by a quadratic dispersion in one direction and a linear dispersion along the orthogonal direction. We study the topological phase transition in such 2D systems in the presence of…
Two-dimensional 2-bands insulators breaking time reversal symmetry can present topological phases indexed by a topological invariant called the Chern number. Here we first propose an efficient procedure to determine this topological index.…
We explore the impact of commensurate multifrequency driving protocols on the stability of topological edge modes in topological 1D systems of spinless fermions. Using Floquet theory, we show that all the topological phase transitions can…
In this work, we discuss properties with no static counterpart arising in Floquet topological insulators with a dynamical chiral symmetry (DCS), i.e., a chiral symmetry which is present while driving. We explore the topological properties…
Topological frequency converters exploit a quantized transfer of power between two driving fields in a quantum system, a phenomenon topologically protected by the Chern number of the associated fiber bundle. While realizations with few-spin…
It was recently found that, going beyond the tendfold Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry classes and violating the bulk-boundary correspondence of the usual topological phases, PT-invariant systems support a real Chern insulator with the so-called…
Two-dimensional periodically driven systems can host an unconventional topological phase unattainable for equilibrium systems, termed the Anomalous Floquet-Anderson insulator (AFAI). The AFAI features a quasi-energy spectrum with chiral…
The recent discoveries of higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have shifted the paradigm of topological materials, which was previously limited to topological states at boundaries of materials, to those at boundaries of boundaries,…
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…
