Snowflake phononic topological insulator at the nanoscale
Chicago
Abstract
We show how the snowflake phononic crystal structure, which recently has been realized experimentally, can be turned into a topological ins ulator for mechanical waves. This idea, based purely on simple geometrical modifications, could be readily implemented on the nanoscale.
