Description:
Author(s): H. Chen, H. Nassar, A. N. Norris, G. K. Hu, and G. L. Huang A mechanical analog to the quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) is implemented into a simple mass-spring kagome lattice. The transition from the trivial state to the topological one is described by an invariant Chern number function of a contrast parameter. The band diagram and helical edge states cha... [Phys. Rev.
