Observation of Photonic Chern Metal With Bi‐Chiral Edge Propagation (Laser Photonics Rev. 18(12)/2024)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Photonic Chern Metals Chern metal, a novel topological metallic state distinct from topological insulator and semimetal phases, is demonstrated by Yan-Chen Zhou, Xiao-Chen Sun, Cheng He, Yan-Feng Chen, and co-workers (see article number 2400826). This work thoroughly examines the interplay between parity and time-reversal symmetry breaking; and it reveals a hidden bulk-boundary correspondence. The figure is a stylized depiction of a unique phenomenon of Chern metals: switchable bi-chiral edge transport controlled by boundary engineering.
