Higher-order topological phases in a spring-mass model on a breathing kagome lattice

Abstract

We propose a realization of higher-order topological phases in a spring-mass model with a breathing kagome structure. To demonstrate the existence of the higher-order topological phases, we characterize the topological properties and show that the corner states appear under the fixed boundary condition. To characterize the topological properties, we introduce a formula for the ${\mathbb{Z}}_3$ Berry phases in the Brillouin zone. From the numerical result of this ${\mathbb{Z}}_3$ Berry phase, we have elucidated that coupling between the longitudinal and transverse modes yields a state characterized by the Berry phase $\frac{2\pi }{3}$ for our mechanical breathing kagome model. In addition, we suggest that the corner states can be detected experimentally through a forced vibration.
