Tunable Band Topology in Gyroscopic Lattices
Noah P. Mitchell, Lisa M. Nash, William T. M. Irvine
Gyroscopic metamaterials --- mechanical structures composed of interacting spinning tops --- have recently been found to support one-way topological edge excitations. In these stru…

Realization of a Topological Phase Transition in a Gyroscopic Lattice
Noah P. Mitchell, Lisa M. Nash, William T. M. Irvine
Topological metamaterials exhibit unusual behaviors at their boundaries, such as unidirectional chiral waves, that are protected by a topological feature of their band structure. T…

Amorphous topological insulators constructed from random point sets
Noah P. Mitchell, Lisa M. Nash, Daniel Hexner +2
The discovery that the band structure of electronic insulators may be topologically non-trivial has unveiled distinct phases of electronic matter with novel properties. Recently, m…
