Abstract
The possibility of topological phase transition with or without a magnetic flux trapped in the cells of a class of decorated lattices is explored in details.Using a tight binding Hamiltonian and a real space decimation scheme we analytically obtain the non-dispersive and dispersive energy bands, and exactly locate the eigenvalues at which energy gaps close.We find that despite the local breaking of the time reversal symmetry, as a magnetic field is turned on, the topological invariant exhibits quantization, and a clear appearance of edge localized modes is observed exactly at the gap-closing energy eigenvalues in the topologically non-trivial insulating phase.The bulk boundary correspondence is obeyed. The protection of the edge states by a chiral symmetry is confirmed for both the presence and absence of magnetic flux. Our studies have been extended to other kinds of decorated lattices where topological phase transition is possible only above a threshold value of the hopping integral describing these lattice. Our results are analytically exact.
