Description

Technical Field This invention belongs to the field of topological research, specifically to a non-Hermitian topological circuit and its implementation method. This circuit can realize the competitive relationship between the non-Hermitian skin effect and Anderson localization embodied in the nonreciprocal Aubry-André (AA) model. The topological circuit of this invention has important scientific significance and research value for studying the complex phase transition behavior, topological properties, and Anderson localization of non-Hermitian systems, and provides an efficient and flexible implementation approach for the development of non-Hermitian topological sensors and topological electronic devices. Background Art With the development of physics, materials science, information technology, etc., topological phase transitions and non-Hermitian systems have become cutting-edge research fields. The concept of non-Hermitian originates from quantum mechanics. It is generally believed that open non-Hermitian quantum systems have no measurable intrinsic energy with physical significance, that is, no real eigenstates. However, if the system satisfies parity-time symmetry, the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian may also have real eigenvalues. This pioneering work has changed people's traditional understanding of the criteria for judging the conservation of energy in non-Hermitian open systems and greatly expanded the research scope of non-Hermitian systems. Studying the synergistic effect between non-Hermitian and topology, and studying its near-field local enhancement, will help further explore new physical phenomena in non-Hermitian topological systems and provide ideas for the research and development of new optoelectronic devices.

[0001] Physical phenomena such as singular points and non-Hermitian skin effects in non-Hermitian systems provide new design ideas for new electronic components, optical devices, and high-sensitivity sensors. Currently, research in the non-Hermitian field mainly focuses on the steady-state properties of topological materials and their behavior in disordered environments. The non-reciprocal AA model is a typical representative of non-Hermitian systems. The non-reciprocal AA model refers to the addition of a quasi-periodic potential Δ to the non-reciprocal Hatono-Nelson (HN) model. n This model provides a new approach to studying topological phase transitions and localization phenomena, and it can achieve localization through quasi-periodic potentials even in the absence of disorder. Anderson localization (AL) refers to the phenomenon that after the electron wave function is subjected to random perturbations, multiple scattering of electrons / light, etc., leads to coherence, which prevents its propagation, so the wave function will be confined to a certain range. Unlike Anderson localization, the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) in non-Hermitian systems describes the accumulation behavior of the eigenstates of the wave function toward a certain boundary. Based on the non-reciprocal AA model, the competition between Anderson localization and non-Hermitian skin effect and their topological phase transitions are studied, which has broad prospects in the fields of sensing and signal transmission. It can be used for the design of high-sensitivity sensors, the development of anti-interference topological materials, etc., to achieve low-loss and high-robustness signal transmission, and provide a design reference for intelligent sensing technology and new electronic devices. Summary of the Invention To address the challenges of constructing non-Hermitian topological circuits, including their high cost and measurement difficulties, this paper proposes a circuit design and implementation method based on the non-reciprocal AA model. The circuit is composed of passive components (resistors, inductors, capacitors, etc.). By designing non-reciprocal coupling and quasi-periodic potentials within the circuit system, competition and conversion between the NHSE and AL are achieved. The goal of this invention is to establish a simple, stable, and efficient topological circuit system that realizes complex phase transitions with non-Hermitian topological effects and localization, providing new insights for experimental research on non-Hermitian topological physical phenomena and the development of topological electronic devices.

[0002] The topological circuit of the present invention consists of chip resistors, chip inductors, chip capacitors, a coaxial connector, an epoxy resin glass fiber cloth dielectric substrate, and a BNC coaxial connector. Passive RLC asymmetry is introduced into the circuit to adjust the numerical proportional relationship between the components to construct a one-dimensional nonreciprocal topological circuit system. This circuit exhibits abnormal voltage localization (NHSE) and AL phenomena at specific frequencies. By adjusting the values ​​of each component, the circuit can also achieve conversion between NHSE and AL. This circuit design offers the advantages of flexible parameter adjustment and simple design and implementation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Each component is connected by a copper wire with a width of 0.381mm. A solder mask window design is performed on the substrate to facilitate the subsequent soldering of electronic components. Three components, chip resistors, chip inductors, and chip capacitors, are selected and soldered on the reserved pads. At the same time, a BNC coaxial connector is added at each node as a transmission interface for signal transmission. The operating frequency range of the topological circuit designed by the present invention is 500~1500kHz.

The numerical units of each component are: Inductance L n (uH), C n (nF), l n (uH), R n (kΩ), the specific value is calculated by formula (1):

[0010] L n =L0g -n ,R n =R0g -n ,C n =C0g n ,l n =L0g -n [2Δ(cos2πβn+1)] -1 (1)

[0011] Where n is the number of nodes, L n 、R n 、C n They represent the inductance, resistance, and capacitance of the nth node respectively; β is a constant defined by the Fibonacci sequence: β = F n+1 / F n , F n is the Fibonacci sequence; g is the strength of the non-reciprocal coupling in the model, which is given by g = e |a| where a is the nonreciprocal transition strength, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5.

By opening a solder mask window on the substrate to add a layer of solder mask to facilitate patch soldering, the patch components and BNC interface are soldered to the pads of the substrate, and finally a left-skin state non-reciprocal AA model circuit with n=13 nodes is obtained. An AC current source with a frequency of f=588.2kHz is connected to the BNC interface to measure the voltage response.

Select C0=10nF, R0=100kΩ, L0=10μH, and calculate by formula (1), we can determine L n 、R n 、C n 、l n For a topology circuit with n=13 nodes, the number of main line inductors is 14 and the number of grounding RLC loops is 13, where L n 、C n 、R n The value of is the same as that in Example 1, n The value of can be divided into 25 groups with 13 values ​​in each group as the disorder degree Δ / J changes. Component package selection is performed based on the calculated component values. The components selected in this embodiment are SMD components with package types of 0805 and 1210. Figure 5 Specifically, the right side of the inductor L1 is connected to the resistor R1, capacitor C1, and inductor l1 to form a unit cell 1.
