Anomalous dielectric response in insulators with the π Zak phase

In various topological phases, nontrivial states appear at the boundaries of the system. In this paper, we investigate anomalous dielectric response caused by such states caused by the π Zak phase. First, by using the one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we show that, when the system is insul...
