Published: December 2024

Precisely engineered gigahertz surface acoustic wave (SAW) trapping enables diverse and controllable interconnections with various quantum systems, which are crucial to unlocking the full potential of phonons. The topological rainbow based on synthetic dimension presents a promising avenue for facile and precise localization of SAWs. In this study, we successfully developed a monolithic gigahertz SAW topological rainbow by utilizing a nanoscale translational deformation as a synthetic dimension. We observed a gapless topological boundary state, which originates from a 2π phase winding in the Zak phase during translation. These boundary states enable on-chip single-mode rainbowlike filters with an extensive range of adjustable operating frequencies. Furthermore, we construct nanoscale wedge-shaped grooves, realizing the Born-von-Karman interface. The interface generates topological rainbow resonators with high quality and small mode volume, which can trap topological phononic states of different frequencies into different positions. This study underscores the immense potential of topological acoustics in synthetic dimensions for microwave acoustics, providing a robust design framework for the precise manipulation of SAWs.

Landau Rainbow Induced by Artificial Gauge Fields.

The ability to generate Landau levels using a pseudomagnetic field (PMF), also called an artificial gauge field, opens up new pathways for exploring fundamental physics and developing novel applications based on topological protection. In this Letter, we simultaneously realize a PMF and a pseudoelectric field (PEF) on a photonic crystal platform and observe a rainbow effect of the Landau zeroth modes. While a PMF induces a series of discretized Landau levels of photons in a similar way as the quantum Hall effect for electrons, a PEF breaks the degeneracy of the flat band of Landau levels over a broad range.

Rainbow trapping, observed in elastic waves, has attracted considerable scientific interest owing to its potential applications in energy harvesting, buffering, and wavelength-division multiplexing devices. However, previous approaches have often necessitated complex geometric modifications to the scatterer, such as altering dimensions or shifting along diagonals to corners, limiting practical utility. Here, we realize the coupled topological edge states (CTESs) of elastic waves in a two-dimensional (2D) solid phononic crystal (PC) with inversion center changes.

Although our knowledge of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been deepened, the accurate diagnosis of ASD from normal individuals is still left behind. In this study, we proposed to apply the spatial pattern of the network topology (SPN) to identify children with ASD from normal ones. Based on two independent batches of electroencephalogram datasets collected separately, the accurate recognition of ASD from normal children was achieved by applying the proposed SPN features.

Topological rainbows (TRs) possess the potential to separate and localize topological photonic states across different frequencies. However, previous works on TRs have been confined to a single-frequency band. Furthermore, the achievement of multiband TRs within a single structure is still a significant challenge.
