Zak phase and the existence of edge states in graphene
We develop a method to predict the existence of edge states in graphene ribbons for a large
class of boundaries. This approach is based on the bulk-edge correspondence between the …

Observation of unconventional edge states in 'photonic graphene'
Graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms, has been attracting much
interest in recent years. Electrons therein behave as massless relativistic particles, giving …

Realization of Gapped and Ungapped Photonic Topological Anderson Insulators
M Ren, Y Yu, B Wu, X Qi, Y Wang, X Yao, J Ren… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
It is commonly believed that topologically nontrivial one-dimensional systems support edge
states rather than bulk states at zero energy. In this work, we find an unanticipated case of …
