Mechanical analogue of a Majorana bound state
Chun-Wei Chen, Natalia Lera, Rajesh Chaunsali +5
The discovery of topologically non-trivial electronic systems has opened a new age in condensed matter research. From topological insulators to topological superconductors and Weyl…

Valley Hall phases in Kagome lattices
Natalia Lera, Daniel Torrent, Pablo San-Jose +2
We report the finding of the analogous valley Hall effect in phononic systems arising from mirror symmetry breaking, in addition to spatial inversion symmetry breaking. We study to…

Topological mechanical metamaterial with nonrectilinear constraints
Natalia Lera, J. V. Alvarez, Kai Sun
In this paper we study Maxwell lattices with non-rectilinear constraints, where the elastic energy is determined by the collective motion of three or more particles, in contrast to…
