We report a homotopic analysis of quantum states in two-dimensional (2D) polymorphs. Two typical models, namely the honeycomb-type and Shastry-Sutherland-type models, are continuously connected through a deformable herringbone lattice model having a nonsymmorphic group symmetry. The evolution of Dirac fermions is characterized within the phase space spanned by the deformation parameters. Our tight-binding models, based on single orbitals for each site with and without spin-orbit coupling (SOC), reveal how the SOC convolutes, the manner being important in facilitating the search and design of 2D topological insulators focused on the homotopic feature of symmetry-protected properties independent of specific materials.
Finding a set of empirical criteria fulfilled by any theory that satisfies the generalized notion of noncontextuality is a challenging task of both operational and foundational importance. The conventional approach of...

We consider a system of weakly coupled one-dimensional wires forming a three-dimensional stack in the presence of a spatially periodic modulation of the chemical potential along the wires, equivalent to a charge density wave (CDW). An external static magnetic field is applied parallel to the wire axes. We show that, for a certain parameter regime, due to interplay between the CDW and magnetic field, the system can support a second-order topological phase characterized by the presence of chiral quasi-1D quantum Hall effect (QHE) hinge modes. Interestingly, we demonstrate that direction of propagation of the hinge modes depends on the phase of the CDW and can be reversed only by electrical means without the need of changing the orientation of the magnetic field. Furthermore, we show that the system can also support 2D chiral surface QHE states, which can coexist with one-dimensional hinge modes, realizing a scenario of a hybrid high-order topology. Performing two-terminal transport simulations in the linear response regime, we confirm quantized QHE resistance plateaus, which are highly robust to disorder giving a clear signature of hinge and surface states.

Cu2OSeO3 is known as a unique example of insulating multiferroic compounds with a skyrmion spin texture, which is characterized by a chiral cubic crystal structure at ambient pressure. Recently, it has been reported that this compound shows a pressure-induced structural transition with a large enhancement of magnetic ordering temperature. In the present Rapid Communication, we have investigated the detailed crystal structure in the high-pressure phase, by combining a synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiment with a diamond anvil cell and an analysis based on the genetic algorithm. Our results suggest that the original pyrochlore Cu network is sustained even after the structural transition, while the orientation of the SeO3 molecule as well as the position of oxygen in the middle of the Cu tetrahedra are significantly modified. The latter features may be the key for the reported enhancement of Tc and the associated stabilization of the skyrmion phase at room temperature.

Chaos is not only a unique chapter in the theory of dynamical systems but also a useful one with many applications in the field of communications. In this work a cyclometric modification of the well-known example of chaotic systems, the modified differential equations describing the behavior of the Chua-circuit is investigated. The results obtained can be applied in the encryption methods of the implementation of different communication channels like machine-machine or cognitive one.
