Estimating bulk and edge topological indices in finite open chiral chains

نویسندگان

چکیده

We develop a formalism to estimate, simultaneously, the usual bulk and edge indices from topological insulators in case of finite sample with open boundary conditions provide physical interpretation these quantities. then show that they converge exponentially fast an integer value when we increase system size also index estimates coincide at size. The theorem applies any non-homogeneous system, such as disordered or defect configurations. focus on one-dimensional chains chiral symmetry, Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model, but proof actually only requires Hamiltonian be short range spectral gap bulk. definition relies finite-size version switch-function where Fermi projector is smoothed energy using carefully chosen regularization parameter.

Edge-decomposition of topological indices

The topological indices, defined as the sum of contributions of all pairs of vertices (among which are the Wiener, Harary, hyper–Wiener indices, degree distance, and many others), are expressed in terms of contributions of edges and pairs of edges.

Extremal Polyomino Chains of VDB Topological Indices

We show that the zig-zag chain Z3 n of segments of length 3 (see Figure 2) has the minimal ABC index among all polyomino chains with n squares. More generally, we give conditions on the numbers {φij} under which the zig-zag chain Z3 n is an extremal value of the induced topological index T defined by T (G) = ∑ 1≤i≤j≤n−1 mijφij where G is a graph with n vertices and mij is the number of edges of...

Surface state magnetization and chiral edge states on topological insulators.

We study the interaction between a ferromagnetically ordered medium and the surface states of a topological insulator with a general surface termination that were identified recently [F. Zhang et al. Phys. Rev. B 86, 081303(R) (2012)]. This interaction is strongly crystal face dependent and can generate chiral states along edges between crystal facets even for a uniform magnetization. While mag...

Topological Edge States in Periodically Driven Trapped-Ion Chains.

Topological insulating phases are primarily associated with condensed-matter systems, which typically feature short-range interactions. Nevertheless, many realizations of quantum matter can exhibit long-range interactions, and it is still largely unknown the effect that these latter may exert upon the topological phases. In this Letter, we investigate the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger topological insula...
