Network model for higher-order topological phases

Physical review. B./Physical review. B, vol. 103

Abstract

The network model is a powerful tool in the study of localization-delocalization transitions and has been used to describe a variety of topological systems without crystalline symmetry. Here, the authors show that network models can also realize topological phases protected by point-group symmetries. The latter lead to the formation of a higher-order topological phase characterized by midgap modes present at the corners of the system.
