Exciton Alchemy: Chern Excitons from Trivial Bands
Yoonseok Hwang, Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler
Exciton topology is commonly inherited from the topology of the underlying electronic bands. Recent theoretical work, however, has shown that the exciton Chern number can in genera…
Fragile Topology is Unstable Under Translation Refinement
Yoonseok Hwang, Saavanth Velury, Taylor L. Hughes
Fragile topological phases become trivial upon the addition of suitable trivial bands, distinguishing them from stable topological phases. Nevertheless, various response phenomena…
Composite Quantum Geometry and Semiclassical Dynamics
Henry Davenport, Yoonseok Hwang, Johannes Knolle +1
We derive semiclassical equations of motion for general composite bound states in insulators and semiconductors, covering excitations such as excitons and trions. For neutral compo…
Stable Wave-Function Zeros Indicate Exciton Topology
Yoonseok Hwang, Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler
Excitons are bound states of electrons and holes whose band topology arises from an interplay between the topology of the underlying electronic bands and the structure of the elect…
Building blocks of topological band theory for photonic crystals
Yoonseok Hwang, Vaibhav Gupta, Antonio Morales-Pérez +6
We derive a framework for classifying topological bands in three-dimensional photonic band structures, where the zero frequency polarization singularity implied by Maxwell's equati…
Global and Local Topological Crystalline Markers for Rotation-Symmetric Insulators
Saavanth Velury, Yoonseok Hwang, Taylor L. Hughes
Crystalline symmetry can be used to predict bulk and surface properties of topological phases. For non-interacting cases, symmetry-eigenvalue analysis of Bloch states at high symme…
