Title: “Topological Crystalline Markers for Rotational-Symmetric Insulators” Abstract: “Topological insulators are materials with unique properties, featuring gapless boundary modes despite having a gapped bulk. When translational symmetry is intact, their topologically non-trivial characteristics can be identified using momentum-space based topological invariants. Yet, challenges arise when bulk disorder and defects break translational symmetry, making momentum-space approaches […]
