Topological 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 کاملGrowth modes of quasicrystals.
The growth of quasicrystals, i.e., aperiodic structures with long-range order, seeded from the melt is investigated using a dynamical phase field crystal model. Depending on the thermodynamic conditions, two different growth modes are detected, namely defect-free growth of the stable quasicrystal and a mode dominated by phasonic flips which are incorporated as local defects into the grown struc...
متن کاملTopological States and adiabatic pumping in quasicrystals.
The unrelated discoveries of quasicrystals and topological insulators have in turn challenged prevailing paradigms in condensed-matter physics. We find a surprising connection between quasicrystals and topological phases of matter: (i) quasicrystals exhibit nontrivial topological properties and (ii) these properties are attributed to dimensions higher than that of the quasicrystal. Specifically...
متن کاملChern and Majorana Modes of Quasicrystals
The topology of quasicrystals is found to have a novel manifestation in the spatial profile of band edge states as topological invariants transform peaks into doublets of size equals the Chern number. The Chern-dressed peaks form a self-similar pattern encoding topological fingerprints at all length scales. For quasicrystals exhibiting localized states, fluctuations about exponentially localize...
متن کاملFloppy modes and nonaffine deformations in random fiber networks.
We study the elasticity of random fiber networks. Starting from a microscopic picture of the nonaffine deformation fields, we calculate the macroscopic elastic moduli both in a scaling theory and a self-consistent effective medium theory. By relating nonaffinity to the low-energy excitations of the network ("floppy modes"), we achieve a detailed characterization of the nonaffine deformations pr...
