Non-Hermitian boundary modes and topology

DS Borgnia, AJ Kruchkov, RJ Slager - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We consider conditions for the existence of boundary modes in non-Hermitian systems with
edges of arbitrary codimension. Through a universal formulation of formation criteria for …

The translational side of topological band insulators

RJ Slager - Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, 2019 - Elsevier
Spin-orbit coupled materials have attracted revived prominent research interest as of late,
especially due their connection with topological materials. A hallmark of this pursuit is …

Impurity-bound states and Green's function zeros as local signatures of topology

RJ Slager, L Rademaker, J Zaanen, L Balents - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We show that the local in-gap Green's function of a band insulator G 0 (ε, k∥, r⊥= 0), with
r⊥ the position perpendicular to a codimension-1 or codimension-2 impurity, reveals the …

Topological correspondence between magnetic space group representations and subdimensions

A Bouhon, GF Lange, RJ Slager - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
The past years have seen rapid progress in the classification of topological materials. These
diagnostical methods are increasingly getting explored in the pertinent context of magnetic …

Three-dimensional -symmetric topological phases with a Pontryagin index

Z Davoyan, WJ Jankowski, A Bouhon, RJ Slager - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We report on a certain class of three-dimensional topological insulators and semimetals
protected by spinless PT symmetry, hosting an integer-valued bulk invariant. We show using …

Interplay between electronic topology and crystal symmetry: Dislocation-line modes in topological band insulators

RJ Slager, A Mesaros, V Juričić, J Zaanen - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We elucidate the general rule governing the response of dislocation lines in three-
dimensional topological band insulators. According to this Kbt rule, the lattice topology …

Subdimensional topologies, indicators, and higher order boundary effects

GF Lange, A Bouhon, RJ Slager - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
The study of topological band structures have sparked prominent research interest the past
decade, culminating in the recent formulation of rather prolific classification schemes that …

Magnetic monopole becomes dyon in topological insulators

S Aoki, H Fukaya, N Kan, M Koshino, Y Matsuki - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The Witten effect predicts that a magnetic monopole acquires a fractional electric charge
inside topological insulators. In this work, we give a microscopic description of this …

Wannier representation of Floquet topological states

M Nakagawa, RJ Slager, S Higashikawa, T Oka - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
A universal feature of topological insulators is that they cannot be adiabatically connected to
an atomic limit, where individual lattice sites are completely decoupled. This property is …
