摘要： In the research of topological phases of matter, valley pseudospins have been introduced into photonic systems. Here, we construct a split-ring photonic crystal (SPC) in which the spilt rings are distributed according to the Kagome model. By rotating three split rings as a whole under the condition of ensuring the existence of C3v symmetry, we obtain a traditional two-band-inversion valley topology (2IVT) driven by opening twofold Dirac degeneracy point. When three split rings are rotated as a whole without ensuring the existence of C3v symmetry, a valley-like topology driven by opening twofold degeneracy point will exist. In particular, when three split rings are rotated separately, three-band-inversion valley-like topology (3IVT) will exist which is also driven by opening twofold degeneracy point. Valley topology and valley-like topology can be described by non-trivial Wannier band (WB) and bulk polarization (BP), and they both have the positive and negative refraction along the Zigzag domain-wall. Our research can be extended to other models, using controllable geometry to construct a variety of topological structures, so as to provide ideas for the research of new topological states.

摘要： Higher-order topological insulators(HOTIs) is an exciting topic. We constructed a square lattice dipole arrays, it supports out-of-plane and in-plane modes by going beyond conventional scalar coupling. In-plane modes naturally break $\mathrm C_{4}$ symmetry, we only studied the out-of-plane modes that maintain $\mathrm C_{4}$ symmetry. Due to the slowly decaying long-range coupling, we consider its fully coupled interactions by using the lattice sums technique and combined with the coupled dipole method (CDM) to study its topological properties in detail. Interestingly, even when the full coupling is considered, the topological properties of the system remain similar to those of the 2D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger(SSH) model, but very differently, it supports robust zero-energy corner states (ZECSs) with $\mathrm C_{4}$ symmetry, we calculate the bulk polarization and discuss in detail the topological origin of the ZECSs. The lattice sums technique in the article can be applied to arbitrary fully coupled 2D dipole arrays. The materials we used can be able to confine light into the deep subwavelength scale, it has a great potential in enhancing light-matter interactions in the terahertz (THz) range.

摘要： Non-Hermiticity alters topology with the presence of non-Hermitian factors in topological systems. Most existing non-Hermitian topological systems derive their topological phases from Hermitian components, that is, the gain and loss of the system are considered simultaneously. In this work, we reveal two-dimensional non-Hermitian high-order topological insulator based on one-dimensional SSH chain, the nontrivial topology of which induced by total-loss. By introducing the loss of a specific configuration, we get a band gap with corner and edge states whose topology is characterized by the gapped wannier band. In addition, we demonstrate the existence of 'real-energy' edge states in pseudo-PT symmetric domain wall system. These results can be easily implemented in experiments, and promote the research of topological transmission of lossy systems in the real world.
