Counter-propagating edge modes and topological phases of a kicked quantum Hall system.
A periodically driven quantum Hall system in a fixed magnetic field is found to exhibit a series of phases featuring anomalous edge modes with the "wrong" chirality. This leads to pairs of counter-propagating chiral edge modes at each edge, in sharp contrast to stationary quantum Hall systems. We show that the pair of Floquet edge modes are protected by the chiral (sublattice) symmetry, and tha...
متن کاملTopological excitation in the Fractional Quantum Hall system
Two kinds of topological excitations, vortices and skyrmions, are studied in the frame of Ginzburg-Landau theory. We obtain the rigorous relation between the topological excitation and the order parameters in the fractional quantum Hall systems. We also discuss the evolution of the vortices in fractional quantum Hall systems. PACS numbers: 73.40.Hm; 02.40.-k; 12.93.Dc Typeset using REVTEX ∗Anth...
متن کاملValley polarized quantum Hall effect and topological insulator phase transitions in silicene
The electronic properties of silicene are distinct from both the conventional two dimensional electron gas and the famous graphene due to strong spin orbit interaction and the buckled structure. Silicene has the potential to overcome limitations encountered for graphene, in particular the zero band gap and weak spin orbit interaction. We demonstrate a valley polarized quantum Hall effect and to...
متن کاملTopological boundary modes in jammed matter.
Granular matter at the jamming transition is poised on the brink of mechanical stability, and hence it is possible that these random systems have topologically protected surface phonons. Studying two model systems for jammed matter, we find states that exhibit distinct mechanical topological classes, protected surface modes, and ubiquitous Weyl points. The detailed statistics of the boundary mo...
متن کاملTopological quantum numbers in the Hall effect
Topological quantum numbers account for the precise quantization that occurs in the integer Hall effect. In this theory, Kubo’s formula for the conductance acquires a topological interpretation in terms of Chern numbers and their non-commutative analog, the Fredholm Indices.
