摘要:

利用三维声波晶体作为声学高阶拓扑绝缘体(HOTI),在具有不同拓扑结构但具有相同晶体对称性的两个声波晶体之间的界面上发现了由自旋1 Dirac方程描述的二维表面态.我们发现,狄拉克质量可以通过两个声波晶体的几何形状进行调谐。狄拉克质量的符号反转揭示了表面拓扑转变,其中表面态表现出零折射率行为。当表面态被带隙时,由于带隙表面态的拓扑结构,一维(1D)铰链态出现。我们在实验上证实了零折射率行为和拓扑铰链态的出现。我们的研究揭示了一个多维的Wannier轨道控制,导致表面状态的非凡属性,并揭示了一个有趣的拓扑机制控制表面波。

英文摘要:

Using three-dimensional (3D) sonic crystals as acoustic higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs), we discover two-dimensional (2D) surface states described by spin-1 Dirac equations at the interfaces between the two sonic crystals with distinct topology but the same crystalline symmetry. We find that the Dirac mass can be tuned by the geometry of the two sonic crystals. The sign reversal of the Dirac mass reveals a surface topological transition where the surface states exhibit zero refractive index behavior. When the surface states are gapped, one-dimensional (1D) hinge states emerge due to the topology of the gapped surface states. We confirm experimentally the zero refractive index behavior and the emergent topological hinge states. Our study reveals a multidimensional Wannier orbital control that leads to extraordinary properties of surface states and unveils an interesting topological mechanism for the control of surface waves.
