Nonreciprocity in acoustic and elastic materials

H Nassar, B Yousefzadeh, R Fleury… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
The law of reciprocity in acoustics and elastodynamics codifies a relation of symmetry
between action and reaction in fluids and solids. In its simplest form, it states that the …

Anatomy of skin modes and topology in non-Hermitian systems

CH Lee, R Thomale - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
A non-Hermitian system can exhibit extensive sensitivity of its complex energy spectrum to
the imposed boundary conditions, which is beyond any known phenomenon from Hermitian …

Topology in quasicrystals

O Zilberberg - Optical Materials Express, 2021 - opg.optica.org
Topological phases of matter have sparked an immense amount of activity in recent
decades. Topological materials are classified by topological invariants that act as a non …

Splitting of topological charge pum** in an interacting two-component fermionic Rice-Mele Hubbard model

E Bertok, F Heidrich-Meisner, AA Aligia - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
A Thouless pump transports an integer amount of charge when pum** adiabatically
around a singularity. We study the splitting of such a critical point into two separate critical …

Mechanical quantum hall effect in time-modulated elastic materials

H Chen, LY Yao, H Nassar, GL Huang - Physical Review Applied, 2019 - APS
Floquet topological insulators have inspired analogues in photonics, optics, and acoustics,
in which nonreciprocal wave propagation in time-modulated materials is achieved due to the …

Spin pum** and measurement of spin currents in optical superlattices

C Schweizer, M Lohse, R Citro, I Bloch - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
We report on the experimental implementation of a spin pump with ultracold bosonic atoms
in an optical superlattice. In the limit of isolated double wells, it represents a 1D dynamical …

Quantized Thouless pumps protected by interactions in dimerized Rydberg tweezer arrays

S Julià-Farré, J Argüello-Luengo, L Henriet, A Dauphin - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We study Thouless pumps, ie, adiabatic topological transport, in an interacting spin chain
described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian. In the noninteracting case, quantized …

Photonic topological pump between chiral disclination states

BY **e, O You, S Zhang - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
A topological pump, a quantum pump protected by the bulk topology, enables the robust
quantized transport of particles (or waves) when the system parameters are varied in a cyclic …

Quantization of band tilting in modulated phononic crystals

H Nassar, H Chen, AN Norris, GL Huang - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
A general theory of the tilting of dispersion bands in phononic crystals whose properties are
being slowly and periodically modulated in space and time is established. The ratio of tilt to …

Engineering the unidirectional topological excitation transmission and topological diode in the Rice-Mele model

L Qi, N Han, S Hu, AL He - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We show how to implement the unidirectional topological excitation transmission in the Rice-
Mele model. We find that the unidirectional excitation transmissions can be implemented via …
