Corner states and topological transitions in two-dimensional higher-order topological sonic crystals with inversion symmetry
Macroscopic two-dimensional (2D) sonic crystals with inversion symmetry are studied to reveal higher-order topological physics in classical wave systems. By tuning a single geometry parameter, the band topology of the bulk and the edges can be controlled simultaneously. The bulk band gap forms an acoustic analog of topological crystalline insulators …
