Topological States in Two-Dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Models

We study the topological properties of the generalized two-dimensional (2D) Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) models. We show that a pair of Dirac points appear in the Brillouin zone (BZ), consisting a semimetallic phase. Interestingly, the locations of these Dirac points are not pinned to any high-symmetr...
