The higher order topological insulator (HOTI) has enticed enormous research interests owing to its novelty in supporting gapless states along the hinges of the crystal. Despite several theoretical predictions, enough experimental…
High-order topological insulators are a recent development extending the topological theory of charge polarization to higher multipole moments. Since their theoretical proposal, several experimental realizations of high-order topological…
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 phase in 2-dimensional (2D) systems is characterized by in-gap corner states, which are hard to detect and utilize. We numerically investigate transport properties of topological corner states in 2D honeycomb…
A $d$-dimensional second-order topological insulator (SOTI) can host topologically protected $(d - 2)$-dimensional gapless boundary modes. Here we show that a 2D non-Hermitian SOTI can host zero-energy modes at its corners. In contrast to…
Inspired by recent experimental observations of hybrid topological states [Hossain et al. Nature 628, 527 (2024)], we predict hybrid-order topological insulators in 1H transition metal compounds (TMCs), where both second-order and…
As symbolized by the Nobel Prize in Physics 2016, "topology" has been recognized as an essential standpoint to understand and control the physics of condensed matter. This concept may be spreading even into application areas such as novel…
Two-dimensional superconductivity has become a major frontier in condensed matter physics. It holds the key to the mechanism of high-temperature superconductors and offers an exceptional arena to stabilize emergent quantum states enabled by…
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…
Topological photonic systems represent a new class of optical materials supporting boundary modes with unique properties, not found in conventional photonics. While the early research on topological photonics has focused on edge and surface…
Recently, higher-order topological insulators have been attracting extensive interest. Unlike the conventional topological insulators that demand bulk gap closings at transition points, the higher-order band topology can be changed without…
Gyromorphs are a new class of disordered systems that combine an amorphous-like absence of translational order with quasi-long-range rotational order. Gyromorphs can outperform quasicrystals or hyperuniform arrangements in forming isotropic…
Topological insulators exhibit boundary states protected by bulk band topology, a principle first established in quantum systems and later extended to classical waves, including phononics. Conventionally, an $n$-dimensional bulk with…
Dynamical phase transitions (DPT) are characterized by nonanalytical time evolution of the dynamical free energy. For general 2-band systems in one and two dimensions (eg. SSH model, Kitaev-chain, Haldane model, p+ip superconductor, etc.),…
Quadrupole phase, as a novel high-order topological phase, exhibits nontrivial gapless states at the boundaries whose dimension is lower than bulk by two. However, this phase has not been observed experimentally in two-dimensional (2D)…
High-order topological insulators (TIs) are a family of recently-predicted topological phases of matter obeying an extended topological bulk-boundary correspondence principle. For example, a two-dimensional (2D) second-order TI does not…
Two-dimensional higher-order topology is usually studied in (nearly) particle-hole symmetric models, so that an edge gap can be opened within the bulk one. But more often deviates the edge anticrossing even into the bulk, where corner…
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…
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) are unique materials hosting topologically protected states, whose dimensionality is at least by a factor of 2 lower than that of the bulk. Topological states in such insulators may be strongly…
Higher-order topological insulators have triggered great interests because of exhibitions of non-trivial bulk topology on lower-dimensional boundaries like corners and hinges. While such interesting phases have been investigated in a…
