Time-Reversal-Invariant Altermagnetic Acoustic Crystals
Tianzhi Xia, Han-Rong Xia, Jinglin Liu +3
Altermagnets have emerged as a new class of magnetic materials that combine spin-split electronic bands with zero net magnetization. Extending this paradigm to classical-wave syste…
Orbital Altermagnetic Photonic Crystal
Sichang Qiu, Huichang Li, Yan Meng +6
Altermagnetism features momentum-dependent spin splitting without net magnetization, extending spintronics beyond conventional ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. However, the p…
Observation of full momentum bandgap in photonic time crystals
Bolun Huang, Zebin Zhu, Genrong Yu +1
The hallmark feature of photonic time crystals (PTCs) is the momentum bandgap, yet opening such a gap is extremely challenging, as it demands strong and rapid temporal modulation o…
Space and space-time topologies in a type-II hyperbolic lattice
Jingming Chen, Zebin Zhu, Minqi Cheng +3
Recent breakthroughs in hyperbolic lattices have expanded the study of topological phases of matter from Euclidean to non-Euclidean spaces. However, prior work has mostly focused o…
Spatiotemporal topological phase transitions in photonic spacetime crystals
Zebin Zhu, Bolun Huang, Siqi Xu +5
Topological phase transitions, characterized by the closing and reopening of band gaps and a concomitant change in topological invariants, have played a central role in topological…
