摘要:

拓扑材料依赖于其体能带的工程全局性质,称为拓扑不变量。这些不变量,通常定义在整个布里渊区,与受保护的边缘状态的存在。然而,对于与具有时间反演和手征对称性的2D晶格(例如石墨烯)相对应的一类重要的哈密顿量,边缘状态的存在与不变量相关联,所述不变量不是在整个2D布里渊区上定义的,而是在约化的1D子空间上定义的。在这里,我们展示了一个新的计划的基础上相结合的实空间和动量空间测量直接访问这些一维拓扑不变量的半导体微腔晶格限制激子极化激元。我们提取这些不变量的数组模拟的物理规律和严格压缩的石墨烯sucht,狄拉克锥合并。我们的计划提供了一个直接的证据,在这些系统中的散装边对应,并打开了大门,探索更复杂的拓扑效应,例如涉及无序和相互作用。

英文摘要:

Topological materials rely on engineering global properties of their bulk energy bands called topological invariants. These invariants, usually defined over the entire Brillouin zone, are related to the existence of protected edge states. However, for an important class of Hamiltonians corresponding to 2D lattices with time-reversal and chiral symmetry (e.g. graphene), the existence of edge states is linked to invariants that are not defined over the full 2D Brillouin zone, but on reduced 1D sub-spaces. Here, we demonstrate a novel scheme based on a combined real- and momentum-space measurement to directly access these 1D topological invariants in lattices of semiconductor microcavities confining exciton-polaritons. We extract these invariants in arrays emulating the physics of regular and critically compressed graphene sucht that Dirac cones have merged. Our scheme provides a direct evidence of the bulk-edge correspondence in these systems, and opens the door to the exploration of more complex topological effects, for example involving disorder and interactions.
