| 研究実績の概要 |
I have been carrying out research on topological band theory, and propose a simpler way for diagnosing topological band crossings in the spinless electronic band structure and phonon/photon band structure [1]. I and my collaborators also establish the conservation rules for chiral phonons in the 3D non-symmorphic systems [2], which is also verified by experiments [3]. We also discover new topological materials with exotic topological bulk properties associated with topological surface states [4-6].

理由
Topological states in phononic systems are topological band crossings, which cannot be diagnosed easily before. To fix such problem, we propose a new topological band theory which only need to calculate the irreducible representations at most 8 high-symmetry momenta. Since topological band theory in phononic systems can be also applied to spinless electronic systems and other bosonic systems, our new theory will draw wide attention and make huge influence.
Since chirality is also one of the topological properties for phonons, my collaborators and I establish the conservation rules for chiral phonons involved physical process in the 3D non-symmorphic systems, which is also verified by experiments.
Further new topological states are also discovered in magnetic systems and spinful systems.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Now I am still working on discovering new topological band theory in phononic systems, which will still be the main topic in the next year.
I am also studying the chiral phonon involved many-body processes, such as electron-phonon coupling and exciton-phonon coupling process in both 2D and 3D materials. Hope we can discover the unique feature of topological phonons in these processes.
