Topological design for band structures of artificial materials such as acoustic crystals provides a powerful tool to manipulate wave propagating in a robust and symmetry-protected way. In this paper, based on the band folding and breaking mechanism by building blocks with acoustic atoms, we construct a three-dimensional topological acoustic crystal with a large complete bandgap. At a mirror-symmetry domain wall, two gapped symmetry and anti-symmetry surface states can be found in the bandgap, originated from two opposite Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains. Remarkably, by enforcing a glide symmetry on the domain wall, we can tune the original gapped surface states in a gapless fashion at the boundaries of surface Brillouin zone, acting as omnidirectional acoustic quantum spin Hall effect. Our tunable yet straightforward acoustic crystals offer promising potentials in realizing future topological acoustic devices.

AbstractDetection and characterization of a different type of topological excitations, namely the domain wall (DW) skyrmion, has received increasing attention because the DW is ubiquitous from condensed matter to particle physics and cosmology. Here we present experimental evidence for the DW skyrmion as the ground state stabilized by long-range Coulomb interactions in a quantum Hall ferromagnet. We develop an alternative approach using nonlocal resistance measurements together with a local NMR probe to measure the effect of low current-induced dynamic nuclear polarization and thus to characterize the DW under equilibrium conditions. The dependence of nuclear spin relaxation in the DW on temperature, filling factor, quasiparticle localization, and effective magnetic fields allows us to interpret this ground state and its possible phase transitions in terms of Wigner solids of the DW skyrmion. These results demonstrate the importance of studying the intrinsic properties of quantum states that has been largely overlooked.
