• Abstract summary: twig edge states in graphene-like structures are viewed as the fourth states complementary to their zigzag, bearded, and armchair counterparts. We show that twig edge states can exist in different phases of the system, such as quantum Hall phase, quantum spin Hall phase and insulating phase. Our results show that the twig edges and interface engineering can bring new opportunities for more flexible manipulation of electromagnetic waves.

• Abstract: The twig edge states in graphene-like structures are viewed as the fourth states complementary to their zigzag, bearded, and armchair counterparts. In this work, we study a rod-in-plasma system in honeycomb lattice with twig edge truncation under external magnetic fields and lattice scaling and show that twig edge states can exist in different phases of the system, such as quantum Hall phase, quantum spin Hall phase and insulating phase. The twig edge states in the negative permittivity background exhibit robust one-way transmission property immune to backscattering and thus provide a novel avenue for solving the plasma communication blackout problem. Moreover, we demonstrate that corner and edge states can exist within the shrunken structure by modulating the on-site potential of the twig edges. Especially, helical edge states with the unique feature of pseudospin-momentum locking that could be excited by chiral sources are demonstrated at the twig edges. Our results show that the twig edges and interface engineering can bring new opportunities for more flexible manipulation of electromagnetic waves.

• Controllable Operations of Edge States in Cross-One-dimensional Topological Chains [0.0]
  We develop a method to control edge states using local interactions of a four-node junction between cross-one-dimensional topological atomic chains. These junction interactions can give rise to tunable couplings between the hybridized edge states within different geometric symmetry. When the atoms are precisely positioned to couple waveguides, the correlated decay caused by the environment enables the anti-symmetric edge states to present subradiant dynamics.

• Multiple polaritonic edge states in a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain strongly coupled to a multimode cavity [0.0]
  Dipolar emitters strongly coupled to a multimode optical waveguide cavity are studied. In the strong-coupling regime, the cavity photons hybridize the bright dipolar bulk band into a polaritonic one. We find that bulk polaritons entering in resonance with the edge states inherit part of their localization properties.

We study how edge modes emerge at the interface and how the group velocity of the particles is modified as the sharpness of the potential step is varied.

The interplay between these two types of edge defects allows us to manipulate the magnon edge states from an isolated band into a continuum one. Our study offers new insights to understand and control the magnon edge states governed by the interplay between edge defects induced by the spin-spin interaction and the Floquet-Wannier-Zeeman manipulation.

  Quantum materials that host a flat band, such as pseudospin-1 lattices and magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, can exhibit drastically new physical phenomena. We report a surprising class of electronic in-gap edge states in pseudospin-1 materials. In particular, we find that, in two-dimensional gapped (insulating) Dirac systems of massive spin-1 quasiparticles, in-gap edge modes can emerge through only an em electrostatic potential applied to a finite domain.
