Selectable diffusion direction with topologically protected edge modes

Abstract Topological insulators provide great potential to control diffusion phenomena as well as waves. In addition to the thermal localization and robust decay as reported, the topological edge states with higher degree of freedom offers a route to control directional diffusion. Here, we show that...
