Weyl points and line nodes in gyroid photonic crystals
Weyl points and line nodes are three-dimensional linear point and line degeneracies between two bands. In contrast to two-dimensional Dirac points, which are their lower-dimensional analogues, Weyl points are stable in momentum space, and the associated surface states are predicted to be topologically non-trivial. However, Weyl points are yet to be discovered in nature. Here, we report photonic...
متن کاملGyroid cuticular structures in butterfly wing scales: biological photonic crystals
We present a systematic study of the cuticular structure in the butterfly wing scales of some papilionids (Parides sesostris and Teinopalpus imperialis) and lycaenids (Callophrys rubi, Cyanophrys remus, Mitoura gryneus and Callophrys dumetorum). Using published scanning and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, analytical modelling and computer-generated TEM micrographs, we find that t...
متن کاملPhotonic crystals possessing multiple Weyl points and the experimental observation of robust surface states
Weyl points, as monopoles of Berry curvature in momentum space, have captured much attention recently in various branches of physics. Realizing topological materials that exhibit such nodal points is challenging and indeed, Weyl points have been found experimentally in transition metal arsenide and phosphide and gyroid photonic crystal whose structure is complex. If realizing even the simplest ...
متن کاملDirac Line Nodes in Inversion-Symmetric Crystals.
We propose and characterize a new Z2 class of topological semimetals with a vanishing spin-orbit interaction. The proposed topological semimetals are characterized by the presence of bulk one-dimensional (1D) Dirac line nodes (DLNs) and two-dimensional (2D) nearly flat surface states, protected by inversion and time-reversal symmetries. We develop the Z2 invariants dictating the presence of DLN...
متن کاملStructure, function, and self-assembly of single network gyroid (I4132) photonic crystals in butterfly wing scales.
Complex three-dimensional biophotonic nanostructures produce the vivid structural colors of many butterfly wing scales, but their exact nanoscale organization is uncertain. We used small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) on single scales to characterize the 3D photonic nanostructures of five butterfly species from two families (Papilionidae, Lycaenidae). We identify these chitin and air nanostructu...
