Abstract
Non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) is a novel phenomenon appearing in non-Hermitian systems. Here, we report the experimental observation of NHSE. Different from the previous non-reciprocal circuit implementation scheme using logic components, we construct our one-dimensional (1D) circuits using linear components only. Besides, we achieve the non-reciprocity by proportionally varying the parameter value of the components. By measuring the voltage response of each site, the information of eigenstates can be mapped out. The results show that the voltage response is always larger on one end of the circuit no matter on which end voltage driving is applied, indicating clearly the presence of the NHSE. Furthermore, we also simulate the interplay of NHSE and Anderson localization (AL) when additional disorder is introduced. Upon increasing the disorder strength, we observe the transformation from the skin effect phase to the localized phase. In the regime of skin effect phase, the eigenstates are all localized at one edge while eigenstates are affected by the voltage supply input in localized phase. Our findings unveil a possible new route for simulation of topological phenomena in non-Hermitian systems.
