Probing topological protection using a designer surface plasmon structure

Journal Article Gao, Fei ; Gao, Zhen ; Shi, Xihang ; ... - Nature Communications

Topological photonic states, inspired by robust chiral edge states in topological insulators, have recently been demonstrated in a few photonic systems, including an array of coupled on-chip ring resonators at communication wavelengths. However, the intrinsic difference between electrons and photons determines that the 'topological protection' in time-reversal-invariant photonic systems does not share the same robustness as its counterpart in electronic topological insulators. Here in a designer surface plasmon platform consisting of tunable metallic sub-wavelength structures, we construct photonic topological edge states and probe their robustness against a variety of defect classes, including some common time-reversal-invariant photonic defects that can breakmore »« less

Topological band evolution between Lieb and kagome lattices

Journal Article Jiang, Wei ; Kang, Meng ; Huang, Huaqing ; ... - Physical Review B

Among two-dimensional lattices, both kagome and Lieb lattices have been extensively studied, showing unique physics related to their exotic flat and Dirac bands. Interestingly, we realize that the two lattices are in fact interconvertible by applying strains along the diagonal direction, as they share the same structural configuration in the unit cell, i.e., one corner-site and two edge-center states. We study phase transitions between the two lattices using the tight-binding approach and propose one experimental realization of the transitions using photonic devices. The evolution of the band structure demonstrates a continuous evolution of the flat band from the middle ofmore »« less

Spin–orbit-driven band inversion in bilayer graphene by the van der Waals proximity effect

Journal Article Island, J. O. ; Cui, X. ; Lewandowski, C. ; ... - Nature (London)

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is the key to realizing time-reversal-invariant topological phases of matter. SOC was predicted by Kane and Mele to stabilize a quantum spin Hall insulator; however, the weak intrinsic SOC in monolayer graphene has precluded experimental observation in this material. In this work, we exploit a layer-selective proximity effect-achieved via a van der Waals contact with a semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide to engineer Kane-Mele SOC in ultra clean bilayer graphene. Using high-resolution capacitance measurements to probe the bulk electronic compressibility, we find that SOC leads to the formation of a distinct, incompressible, gapped phase at charge neutrality.

Comparison of quantum spin Hall states in quasicrystals and crystals

Journal Article Huang, Huaqing ; Liu, Feng - Physical Review B

We theoretically review the quantum spin Hall states in an Ammann-Beenker-type octagonal quasicrystal and a periodic snub-square crystal, both sharing the same basic building blocks. While the bulk states show significant differences in localization and transport properties, the topological phases manifest similarly in the two systems. This suggests the robustness of the topological properties regardless of symmetry and periodicity. We characterize the topological nature of the two systems with a nonzero topological invariant (spin Bott index Bs and Z2 invariant), robust metallic edge states, and quantized conductance. In spite of some quantitative differences, the topological phase diagram of the twomore »« less

Photonic topological insulator with broken time-reversal symmetry

Journal Article He, Cheng ; Sun, Xiao-Chen ; Liu, Xiao-Ping ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

A topological insulator is a material with an insulating interior but time-reversal symmetry-protected conducting edge states. Since its prediction and discovery almost a decade ago, such a symmetry-protected topological phase has been explored beyond electronic systems in the realm of photonics. Electrons are spin-1/2 particles, whereas photons are spin-1 particles. The distinct spin difference between these two kinds of particles means that their corresponding symmetry is fundamentally different. It is well understood that an electronic topological insulator is protected by the electron’s spin-1/2 (fermionic) time-reversal symmetry Tmore » $$2\atop{f}$$ = -1. However, the same protection does not exist under normal circumstances for a photonic topological insulator, due to photon’s spin-1 (bosonic) time-reversal symmetry T$$2\atop{b}$$ = -1. Here, we report a design of photonic topological insulator using the Tellegen magnetoelectric coupling as the photonic pseudospin orbit interaction for left and right circularly polarized helical spin states. The Tellegen magnetoelectric coupling breaks bosonic time-reversal symmetry but instead gives rise to a conserved artificial fermionic-like-pseudo time-reversal symmetry, T _p ( T$$2\atop{p}$$ = -1), due to the electromagnetic duality. Surprisingly, we find that, in this system, the helical edge states are, in fact, protected by this fermionic-like pseudo time-reversal symmetry T _p rather than by the bosonic time-reversal symmetry T _b. This remarkable finding is expected to pave a new path to understanding the symmetry protection mechanism for topological phases of other fundamental particles and to searching for novel implementations for topological insulators.« less
