Fractal topology--achieved by integrating nontrivial topology into fractal geometries with self-similarity and non-integer dimensions--has opened new avenues for exploring topologi…
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 Chiral Bound States in the Continuum in Self-biased Magneto-optical Photonic Crystals
Maohua Gong, Qiutong Zhen, Yujie Tang +5
Chiral bound states in the continuum (BICs) are confined photonic modes with infinite quality factors and chiral response, offering significant potential for chiral optics. Althoug…
Spatiotemporal topological phase transitions in photonic spacetime crystals
Zebin Zhu, Bolun Huang, Siqi Xu +5
Topological phase transitions have played a central role in topological physics. However, such transitions have so far been restricted to spatial or temporal crystals. Here, we tra…
