Dual-band topological Bott insulators in Ammann–Beenker-tiling square photonic quasicrystals by Yingfang Zhang, Zhihao Lan, Weicheng Chen, Jianqing Li

“…In specific, we investigate the topological properties of photonic quasicrystals made of gyromagnetic dielectric cylinders arranged in a two-dimensional Ammann–Beenker tiling quasicrystalline lattice and find that this system supports dual-band chiral topological edge states, where the topological nature of both bandgaps is unambiguously confirmed by explicit calculations of the Bott index. Our work not only provides new insights on topological states in photonic quasicrystals based on the Ammann–Beenker-tiling, the results may also offer promising potentials for robust multiband photonic devices and applications not constrained by crystalline symmetries.…”
