Energy Localization in Spherical Non-Hermitian Topolectrical Circuits

This work delves into the energy localization in non-Hermitian systems, particularly focusing on the effects of topological defects in spherical models. We analyze the mode distribution changes in non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains impacted by defects, utilizing the Maximum Skin Corner Weight (MaxWSC). By introducing an innovative spherical model, conceptualized through bisecting spheres into one-dimensional chain structures, we investigate the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) in a new dimensional context, venturing into the realm of non-Euclidean geometry. Our experimental validations on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) confirm the theoretical findings. Collectively, these results not only validate our theoretical framework but also demonstrate the potential of engineered circuit systems to emulate complex non-Hermitian phenomena, showcasing the applicability of non-Euclidean geometries in studying NHSE and topological phenomena in non-Hermitian systems.
