Stiefel-Whitney topological charges in a three-dimensional acoustic nodal-line crystal
Abstract Band topology of materials describes the extent Bloch wavefunctions are twisted in momentum space. Such descriptions rely on a set of topological invariants, generally referred to as topological charges, which form a characteristic class in the mathematical structure of fiber bundles associ...
