Fully Polarized Topological Isostatic Metamaterials in Three Dimensions
Fully Polarized Topological Isostatic Metamaterials in Three Dimensions
Topological surface states are unique to topological materials and are immune to disturbances. In isostatic lattices, mechanical topological floppy modes exhibit softness depending on the polarization relative to the terminating surface. However, in three dimensions, the polarization of topological floppy modes is disrupted by the ubiquitous mechanical Weyl lines. Here, …
