Topologically protected acoustic helical edge states and interface states in strongly coupled metamaterial ring lattices
arXiv:1508.06243 · doi:10.1038/ncomms13368
Abstract
Time reversal (T) invariant topological insulator is widely recognized as one of the fundamental discoveries in condensed matter physics, for which the most fascinating hallmark is perhaps a spin based topological protection, the total cancellation of scattering of conduction electrons with certain spins on matter surface. Recently, it has created a paradigm shift for topological insulators, from electronics to photonics, phononics as well as mechanics, bringing about not only involved new physics but also potential applications in robust wave transport. Despite the growing interests in realizing topologically protected acoustic wave transport, T-invariant acoustic topological insulator has not yet been achieved. Here, we report the first demonstration of acoustic topological insulator: a strongly coupled metamaterial ring lattice that supports one-way propagation of helical edge states under T-symmetry, backscattering immune to boundary abrupt variations. The very unique thing is the formation of spin-filtered interface states due to lattice dislocations. The mechanism underlying the formation of topologically protected edge states and interface states is applicable in various other wave systems or higher dimensions.
