Topological Gaps by Twisting

Matheus Rosa, Massimo Ruzzene, Emil Prodan

摘要:

结果表明,扭曲的$n$ -层有一个内在的自由度生活在$2n$ -环面,这是由层的相对滑动提供的相位子和扭曲产生伪磁场。因此,扭曲的$n$层主机的内在高维拓扑相位和那些特征在于第二陈数可以在扭曲的双层。事实上,我们的调查与第二扭曲晶格调制的相互作用的声子晶格揭示了霍夫施塔特的光谱蝴蝶的扭曲角,其间隙进行预测的拓扑不变量。我们的工作演示了如何多层系统是虚拟实验室,用于研究高维量子霍尔效应的物理学,以及如何通过简单地滑动层相对于彼此产生拓扑边缘手性模式。在经典的超材料的背景下,光子和声子,这些发现打开了一条道路,工程拓扑泵浦通过简单的扭曲和滑动。

英文摘要:

It is shown that twisted $n$-layers have an intrinsic degree of freedom living on $2n$-tori, which is the phason supplied by the relative slidings of the layers and that the twist generates pseudo magnetic fields. As a result, twisted $n$-layers host intrinsic higher dimensional topological phases and those characterized by second Chern numbers can be found in a twisted bi-layer. Indeed, our investigation of phononic lattices with interactions modulated by a second twisted lattice reveals Hofstadter-like spectral butterflies in terms of the twist angle, whose gaps carry the predicted topological invariants. Our work demonstrates how multi-layered systems are virtual laboratories for studying the physics of higher dimensional quantum Hall effect and how to generate topological edge chiral modes by simply sliding the layers relative to each other. In the context of classical metamaterials, both photonic and phononic, these findings open a path to engineering topological pumping via simple twisting and sliding.
