Topological waves guided by a glide-reflection symmetric crystal interface
Julio Andrés Iglesias Martínez, Nicolas Laforge, Muamer Kadic +1
A domain wall separating two different topological phases of the same crystal can support the propagation of backscattering-immune guided waves. In valley-Hall and quantum-Hall cry…
Acoustic topological circuitry in square and rectangular phononic crystals
Nicolas Laforge, Richard Wiltshaw, Richard V. Craster +6
We systematically engineer a series of square and rectangular phononic crystals to create experimental realisations of complex topological phononic circuits. The exotic topological…
Optimal isotropic, reusable truss lattice material with near-zero Poisson's ratio
Xueyan Chen, Johnny Moughames, Qingxiang Ji +9
Cork is a natural amorphous material with near-zero Poisson's ratio that is ubiquitously used for sealing glass bottles. It is an anisotropic, transversally isotropic, composite th…
Experimental observations of topologically guided water waves within non-hexagonal structures
Mehul P. Makwana, Nicolas Laforge, Richard V. Craster +4
We investigate symmetry-protected topological water waves within a strategically engineered square lattice system. Thus far, symmetry-protected topological modes in hexagonal syste…
Observation of topological gravity-capillary waves in a water wave crystal
Nicolas Laforge, Vincent Laude, Franck Chollet +4
The discovery of topological phases of matter, initially driven by theoretical advances in quantum condensed matter physics, has been recently extended to classical wave systems, r…
Tunable three-way valley Hall energy-splitter: venturing beyond graphene-like structures
Mehul P. Makwana, Gregory J. Chaplain
Strategically combining four structured domains creates the first ever three-way topological energy-splitter; remarkably, this is only possible using a square, or rectangular, latt…
