Symmetry-controlled edge states in graphene-like topological sonic crystal

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/ab9c0e

Abstract

Unique topological states emerged in various topological insulators (TI) have been proved with great application value for robust wave regulation. In this work, we demonstrate the parity inversion related to the definition of the primitive cell in one common lattice, and realize a type of symmetry-controlled edge states confined on the zigzag interfaces of the graphene-like sonic topological crystal. By simply sliding the selected ‘layer’ near the interface, the coupling of the pseudospin states induced by the multiple scattering for the C_6v lattice results in the adjustment of the edge states. Based on the physics of the states, we experimentally propose a prototype of acoustic topological filter hosting multiple channels with independent adjustable edge states and realize the selective high transmission. Our work diversifies the prospects for the applications of the gapped edge states in the robust wave regulation, and proposes a frame to design new topological devices.

Fig. 1.

(a) Schematic of two selected supercells (red dashed lines) based on one common graphene-like lattice, the corners and the edges of the supercells represent the pseudo-atoms and the corresponding hoppings, respectively. The corresponding energy band structures labeled with parities are presented in (b) and (c). (d) and (e) The pressure field distributions of the first two double-degenerate bands from bottom to top at M point of the two supercells, respectively. The opposite parities indicate the parity inversion.
