Abstract

This thesis demonstrates that these solitons could be interpreted as collective phononic excitations of specific phonon modes. This finding allowed us to construct atomistic models of the topological solitons systematically. Concerning a band in- version and the system’s resultant topological features, we demonstrated a highly nonlinear phonon-phonon coupling, which is mediated by coupled electronic and lat- tice degrees of freedom. Understanding the dynamics of soliton-soliton interactions turned out to be dependent on electron-phonon coupling. While the previously con- ductedresearchtantalizinglydemonstratedthattheexactphononsinvolvedcouldbe optically controlled in a deterministic and directed regime of nuclear motion with speed at the quantum limit, algebraic operations may be carried out using these single excitations with topological protection.
