Weyl Points and Fermi Arc Surface States in a Self-assemblable Zinc-Blende Photonic Crystal

Johnathon P. Gales, Hengbin Cheng, David J. Pine +1

Colloidal self-assembly has long been proposed as a method for growing large-scale three-dimensional photonic crystals with important optical properties in visible and near-infrare…

Monopole topological resonators

Hengbin Cheng, Jingyu Yang, Zhong Wang +1

Among the many far-reaching consequences of the potential existence of a magnetic monopole, it induces topological zero modes in the Dirac equation, which were derived by Jackiw an…

Theoretical analysis of glide-Z_2 magnetic topological photonic crystals

Heejae Kim, Hengbin Cheng, Ling Lu +1

Gapped systems with glide symmetry can be characterized by a Z_2 topological invariant. We study the magnetic photonic crystal with a gap between the second and third lowest bands,…

Surface density-of-states on semi-infinite topological photonic and acoustic crystals

Yi-Xin Sha, Bo-Yuan Liu, Hao-Zhe Gao +5

Iterative Green's function, based on cyclic reduction of block tridiagonal matrices, has been the ideal algorithm, through tight-binding models, to compute the surface density-of-s…

Discovering topological surface states of Dirac points

Hengbin Cheng, Yixin Sha, Rongjuan Liu +2

Dirac materials, unlike the Weyl materials, have not been found in experiments to support intrinsic topological surface states, as the surface arcs in existing systems are unstable…

Crystallographic splitting theorem for band representations and fragile topological photonic crystals

A. Alexandradinata, J. Höller, Chong Wang +2

The fundamental building blocks in band theory are band representations (BRs): bands whose infinitely-numbered Wannier functions are generated (by action of a space group) from a f…
