Chiral symmetry plays an indispensable role in topological classifications as well as in the understanding of the origin of bulk or boundary flat bands. The conventional definition of chiral symmetry refers to the existence of a constant unitary matrix anticommuting with the Hamiltonian. Since a constant unitary matrix has constant eigenvectors, boundary flat bands enforced by chiral symmetry, which share the same eigenvectors with the chiral symmetry operator, are dictated to carry fixed (pseudo)spin polarizations and be featureless in quantum geometry. In this paper, we generalize the chiral symmetry and introduce a concept termed subchiral symmetry. Unlike the conventional chiral symmetry operator defined as constant matrix, the subchiral symmetry operator depends on partial components of the momentum vector, as do its eigenvectors. We show that topological gapped or gapless systems without chiral symmetry, but with subchiral symmetry, can support boundary flat bands, which exhibit topological spin textures and quantized Berry phases. We expect that such intriguing boundary flat bands could give rise to a variety of exotic physics in the presence of interactions or disorders.

Luminescent materials with multi-emission features are difficult to be replicated, which are highly desirable for advanced anti-counterfeiting. Here, we report the pioneering synthesis of Mn^(2+)/Yb^(3+)/Er^(3+) tri-doped Cs2Ag0.8Na0.2InCl6 double perovskites (MYE-DP), which exhibit photoluminescence (PL) covering from visible to near-infrared (NIR). The PL colors under excitations of 254 and 365 nm are notably different due to the changed relative emission intensities of self-trapped excitons (STEs) and Mn^(2+) d–d transition. Moreover, under the excitation of a NIR laser, the MYE-DP exhibits upconversion (UC) emissions of Mn^(2+) and Er^(3+). After ceasing the excitation, the long-lived trapped electrons can be thermally released to Mn^(2+) and Er^(3+) ions, resulting in both visible and NIR afterglow. Based on multi-modal emissions of the MYE-DP, we demonstrate a five-level anti-counterfeiting strategy, which significantly increases the anti-counterfeiting security. In addition, this work provides valuable insights into the energy transfer between STEs, Mn^(2+), Ln^(3+), and traps, laying a solid foundation for future development of new lead-free perovskites.

Photonic crystal notch filter plays a vital role in photonics applications which can selectively attenuate the unwanted interference. However, it remains challenging to achieve high efficiency and is generally limited to the single notch performance. Here, we demonstrated a high efficient all-silicon multi-notch filter scheme utilizing photonic crystal nanorod flower-shaped resonators. Based on the single resonant cavity, the dielectric columns can be introduced to create the intracavity asymmetry achieving double notch, meanwhile by adding the certain scattering nanorods to trap light efficiently, it can also obtain triple notch. The results emanate that the transmission and the Q of single notch up to 2.6% and 16209.4, double notch 0.5%, 0.1% and 12371.7,13934.5, triple notch 0.2%, 0.5%, 2.3%, 2312.9, 2062.8, 2327.4 can be achieved, respectively. The proposed high efficient multi-notch filters could potentially catalyze advancements in filter technology within the realm of silicon photonics applications and optical communication.
