Observation of Universal Spectral Moments and the Dynamic Dispersive-to-Proliferative Transition
Jia-Xin Zhong, Chang Shu, Nan Cheng +4
In non-Hermitian systems, spectra can be maximally boundary-sensitive, yet bulk physics need not be. Here we experimentally show that spectral moments provide boundary-robust bulk…
Ordinary lattice defects as probes of topology
Aiden J. Mains, Jia-Xin Zhong, Yun Jing +1
In addition to topological lattice defects such as dislocations and disclinations, crystals are also accompanied by unavoidable ordinary defects, devoid of any non-trivial geometry…
Observation of dislocation bound states and skin effects in non-Hermitian Chern insulators
Jia-Xin Zhong, Bitan Roy, Yun Jing
The confluence of non-Hermitian (NH) topology and crystal defects has culminated significant interest, yet its experimental exploration has been limited due to the challenges invol…
Observation of Erratic Non-Hermitian Skin Localization and Transport
Jia-Xin Zhong, Jee Woo Kim, Stefano Longhi +1
Localization is a pervasive phenomenon across physics, shaping transport from electrons in solids to light and sound in engineered media. In traditional settings, disorder strongly…
Geometry-induced Exceptional Point Detached from Fermi Arcs
Yuancheng Zhao, Jia-Xin Zhong, Jing Lin +2
Exceptional points (EPs), ubiquitous non-Hermitian degeneracies, are central features in band structures where non-Hermitian Fermi arcs connect EPs and eigenvalue knots encircle th…
Unveiling non-Hermitian band structures with non-Bloch supercells
Jia-Xin Zhong, Jing Lin, Kai Chen +3
Real-valued band structures are foundational to analyzing periodic systems within the Hermitian description and have been experimentally well-established over recent decades. In co…
