Reflection-Free One-Way Edge Modes in a Gyromagnetic Photonic Crystal
Open accessAbstract
We point out that electromagnetic one-way edge modes analogous to quantum Hall edge states, originally predicted by Raghu and Haldane in 2D photonic crystals possessing Dirac point-derived band gaps, can appear in more general settings. We show that the TM modes in a gyromagnetic photonic crystal can be formally mapped to electronic wave functions in a periodic electromagnetic field, so that the only requirement for the existence of one-way edge modes is that the Chern number for all bands below a gap is nonzero. In a square-lattice yttrium-iron-garnet crystal operating at microwave frequencies, which lacks Dirac points, time-reversal breaking is strong enough that the effect should be easily observable. For realistic material parameters, the edge modes occupy a 10% band gap. Numerical simulations of a one-way waveguide incorporating this crystal show 100% transmission across strong defects.

Hatsugai's relation between edge states and Chern numbers, derived using a lattice quantum Hall model, applies to the photonic system.
“The Chern-number argument for the existence of photonic edge modes depends on a crucial assumption: that Hatsugai's relation between edge states and Chern numbers [9], which was derived using a lattice QH model, applies to the photonic system.”

In realistic gyroelectric materials, the strength of time-reversal breaking (the Voigt parameter) is at most 10^-3.

One-way edge modes in gyroelectric photonic crystals have never been observed experimentally.
“To our knowledge, these one-way edge modes have never been observed experimentally, and to do so one would desire a band gap that is orders of magnitude broader.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
