Topolectrical-circuit realization of quadrupolar surface semimetals

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that there are two types of topological quadrupolar semimetals. One is the quadrupolar bulk semimetal, which is a conventional semimetal with gapless nodes in the bulk spectrum. The other type is named the quadrupolar surface semimetal, possessing a gapped bulk but gapless nodes on the surface spectrum. There have been many experiments on the implementation of quadrupolar bulk semimetals. However, the quadrupolar surface semimetal has never been realized. Here we report on the experimental realization of the quadrupolar surface semimetal in the circuit system. To highlight the properties of the quadrupolar surface semimetal, we also prepare a quadrupolar bulk semimetal in the circuit as a contrast. It has been demonstrated that the quadrupolar surface semimetal has a bulk band gap, but two gapless nodes appear on the surfaces. Also, the electrons not only concentrate on the hinges but also on the corresponding surfaces. Our studies provide novel ways to control electrical signals and may have potential applications in the field of intergraded circuit design.
