Higher-order band topology

B **e, HX Wang, X Zhang, P Zhan, JH Jiang… - Nature Reviews …, 2021 - nature.com
A conventional topological insulator (TI) has gapped bulk states but gapless edge states.
The emergence of the gapless edge states is dictated by the bulk topological invariant of the …

Quantization of fractional corner charge in -symmetric higher-order topological crystalline insulators

WA Benalcazar, T Li, TL Hughes - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
In the presence of crystalline symmetries, certain topological insulators present a filling
anomaly: a mismatch between the number of electrons in an energy band and the number of …

Higher-order Weyl semimetals

SAA Ghorashi, T Li, TL Hughes - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We investigate higher-order Weyl semimetals (HOWSMs) having bulk Weyl nodes attached
to both surface and hinge Fermi arcs. We identify a new type of Weyl node, which we dub a …

Topological phase transitions in disordered electric quadrupole insulators

CA Li, B Fu, ZA Hu, J Li, SQ Shen - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We investigate disorder-driven topological phase transitions in quantized electric
quadrupole insulators in two dimensions. We show that chiral symmetry can protect the …

Fractional disclination charge in two-dimensional -symmetric topological crystalline insulators

T Li, P Zhu, WA Benalcazar, TL Hughes - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Robust fractional charge localized at disclination defects has recently been found as a
topological response in C 6-symmetric 2D topological crystalline insulators (TCIs). In this …

Higher-order topological odd-parity superconductors

Z Yan - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The topological property of a gapped odd-parity superconductor is jointly determined by its
pairing nodes and Fermi surfaces in the normal state. We reveal that the contractibility of …

Many-body order parameters for multipoles in solids

B Kang, K Shiozaki, GY Cho - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We propose many-body order parameters for bulk multipoles in crystalline systems,
whenever the bulk multipole moments can be defined in terms of the nontrivial topology of …

Symmetry-enforced chiral hinge states and surface quantum anomalous Hall effect in the magnetic axion insulator Bi2–xSmxSe3

C Yue, Y Xu, Z Song, H Weng, YM Lu, C Fang, X Dai - Nature Physics, 2019 - nature.com
The existence of topological hinge states is a key signature for a newly proposed class of
topological matter, the second-order topological insulators. In the present paper, a universal …

Floquet higher-order topological insulators with anomalous dynamical polarization

B Huang, WV Liu - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have emerged as a new class of phases, whose
robust in-gap “corner” modes arise from the bulk higher-order multipoles beyond the dipoles …
