Photonic topological phases are classical electromagnetic wave analogues of electronic topological phases studied in condensed matter physics. Similar to their electronic counterparts, they, can provide robust unidirectional channels for light propagation. [2] The field that studies these phases of light is referred to as topological photonics.
The alloy Nb 10 Ni 9 Al 3 is the prototype for the M phase. It has orthorhombic space group with 52 atoms per unit cell. The alloy Cr 9 Mo 21 Ni 20 is the prototype for the P-phase. It has a primitive orthorhombic cell with 56 atoms. The alloy Co 5 Cr 2 Mo 3 is the prototype for the R-phase which belongs to the rhombohedral space group with 53 ...
A topological insulator is an insulator for the same reason a "trivial" (ordinary) insulator is: there exists an energy gap between the valence and conduction bands of the material. But in a topological insulator, these bands are, in an informal sense, "twisted", relative to a trivial insulator. [4]

In condensed matter physics, the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model or SSH chain is a one-dimensional lattice model that presents topological features. [1] It was devised by Wu-Pei Su, John Robert Schrieffer, and Alan J. Heeger in 1979, to describe the increase of electrical conductivity of polyacetylene polymer chain when doped, based on the existence of solitonic defects.
It indicates the mathematical group for the topological invariant of the topological insulators and topological superconductors, given a dimension and discrete symmetry class. [1] The ten possible discrete symmetry families are classified according to three main symmetries: particle-hole symmetry, time-reversal symmetry and chiral symmetry.
The q-plate with topological charge q can generate a charge vortex based on the input beam polarization. [8] [9] An s-plate is a similar technology to a q-plate, using a high-intensity UV laser to permanently etch a birefringent pattern into silica glass with an azimuthal variation in the fast axis with topological charge of s. Unlike a q-plate ...
The massless fermions lead to various quantum Hall effects, magnetoelectric effects in topological materials, and ultra high carrier mobility. [10] [11] Dirac cones were observed in 2008-2009, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on the potassium-graphite intercalation compound KC 8 [12] and on several bismuth-based alloys ...
