We study the formation of magnetic states in localized impurities embedded into two-dimensional semiconductors. By considering various energy configurations, we illustrate the interplay of the gap and the bands in the system magnetization.…

We study the electronic states that are formed due to the tunnel coupling between helical edge states (HESs) and bound states of nonmagnetic point defects in two-dimensional topological insulators in the general case of broken axial spin…

A periodic array of atomic sites, described within a tight binding formalism is shown to be capable of trapping electronic states as it grows in size and gets stubbed by an atom or an atomic clusters from a side in a deterministic way. We…

While resonant modes do not exist within band gaps in infinite periodic materials, they may appear as in-gap localized edge modes once the material is truncated to form a finite periodic structure. Here, we provide an analysis framework…

We address edge states and rich localization regimes available in the one-dimensional (1D) dynamically modulated superlattices, both theoretically and numerically. In contrast to conventional lattices with straight waveguides, the…

We numerically study the coarsening of topological defects in 2D polar active matter and make several interesting observations and predictions. (i) The long time state is characterized by nonzero density of defects, in stark contrast to…

We consider a variety of settings involving chains with one or more defects stemming from the introduction of nodes bearing internal resonators. Motivated by experimental results in woodpile elastic lattices with one or two defects, we…

We report the design of silica-based 1D phononic crystals (PnCs) with topologically distinct complete phononic bandgaps (PnBGs) and the observation of a topologically protected state of elastic waves at their interface. By choosing…

Recently there is trend to study topological properties in one-dimensional(1D) periodic systems. Concepts such as Zak phase are considered as topological invariants that characterize the bulk bands. The bulk 1D systems are classified to…

We report about a mechanism for surface localization, present in finite defect-free polyatomic lattices described by a tight binding model. Numerical diagonalization and degenerated perturbation theory show that there is a minimum number of…

The present paper deals with the wave propagation in a particular two dimensional structure, obtained from a localized perturbation of a reference periodic medium. This reference medium is a ladder like domain, namely a thin periodic…

Topological edge states in systems of two (or more) dimensions offer scattering-free transport, exhibiting robustness to inhomogeneities and disorder. In a different domain, time-modulated systems, such as photonic time crystals (PTCs),…

Topological dislocations in otherwise periodic lattices represent global structural defects that, nevertheless, typically leave the lattice periodicity intact far from the dislocation. Such dislocations arise in diverse physical systems…

We study the influence of anisotropy, treated as a dimensional crossover between 1D and 3D system, on the topological instability induced by a (self-consistent) uniaxial periodic potential. The mechanism on which the instability is based…

An ElectroMagnetic Solver (EMS) [Chen et al., Phys. Plasmas, 13, 123507 (2006)] is employed to model a spectral gap and a gap eigenmode in a periodic structure in the whistler frequency range. A Radially Localised Helicon (RLH) mode…

We demonstrate that modulations of the stiffness properties of an elastic plate along a spatial dimension induce edge states spanning non-trivial gaps characterized by integer valued Chern numbers. We also show that topological pumping is…

It is recent that the emergence of topological insulators in condensed matter physics has inspired analogous wave phenomena in mechanical systems, mostly in the setting of discrete lattice models. Here we report a numerical and experimental…

We study self-trapped localized nonlinear states in the form of truncated Bloch waves in one-dimensional optical lattices, which appear in the gaps of the linear bandgap spectrum. We demonstrate the existence of families of such localized…

Topological states emerge at the boundary of solids as a consequence of the nontrivial topology of the bulk. Recently, theory predicts a topological edge state on single layer transition metal dichalcogenides with 1T' structure. However,…

Electronic band structures in hydrogenated graphene are theoretically investigated by means of first-principle calculations and an effective tight-binding model. It is shown that regularly designed hydrogenation to graphene gives rise to a…
