Topological acoustics is an emerging field that lies at the intersection of condensed matter
physics, mechanical structural design and acoustics engineering. It explores the design and …

The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological
invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt …

The concept of topological energy bands and their manifestations have been demonstrated
in condensed matter systems as a fantastic paradigm toward unprecedented physical …

Symmetries crucially underlie the classification of topological phases of matter. Most
materials, both natural as well as architectured, possess crystalline symmetries. Recent …

Topological phases, including the conventional first-order and higher-order topological
insulators and semimetals, have emerged as a thriving topic in the fields of condensed …

The last 20 years have witnessed growing impacts of the topological concept on the
branches of physics, including materials, electronics, photonics, and acoustics. Topology …

The discovery of topologically protected boundary states in topological insulators opens a
new avenue toward exploring novel transport phenomena. The one-way feature of boundary …

Light is a powerful tool for controlling mechanical motion, as shown by numerous
applications in the field of cavity optomechanics. Recently, small scale optomechanical …

We theoretically investigate the Floquet generation of a second-order topological
superconducting (SOTSC) phase hosting Majorana corner modes (MCMs), considering a …

Topological acoustic interface states in one-dimensional (1D) acoustic topological insulators
(ATIs) are zero-dimensional (0D) topological states localized at an interface. Unlike …
