Fractality-induced topological phase squeezing and devil's staircase

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the first example of Chern fractal insulators in an acoustic Sierpinski lattice. Through introducing fractality into the well-known Haldane model, we find that the topological phase diagram is significantly squeezed by about 0.5 times, compared with that of...
