Structural spillage: An efficient method to identify noncrystalline topological materials

While topological materials are not restricted to crystals, there is no efficient method to diagnose topology in noncrystalline solids such as amorphous materials. Here we introduce the structural spillage, a new indicator that predicts the unknown topological phase of a noncrystalline solid, which...
