The study explores the topological properties of a spin-orbit coupled tight-binding model with flux on the kagome lattice, which includes a Z(2) topological insulator, inequivalent sites, flat band, and topological dispersive energy bands. It demonstrates the stability of the topological phase against spin-flip processes and different types of on-site potentials, as well as the possibility of different on-site energies within a unit cell.
We study the topological properties of a spin-orbit coupled tight-binding model with flux on the kagome lattice. The model is time-reversal invariant and realizes a Z(2) topological insulator as a result of artificial gauge fields. We develop topological arguments to describe this system showing three inequivalent sites in a unit cell and a flat band in its energy spectrum in addition to the topological dispersive energy bands. We show the stability of the topological phase towards spin-flip processes and different types of on-site potentials. In particular, we also address the situation where on-site energies may differ inside a unit cell. Moreover, a staggered potential on the lattice may realize topological phases for the half-filled situation. Another interesting result is the occurrence of a topological phase for large on-site energies. To describe topological properties of the system we use a numerical approach based on the twisted boundary conditions and we develop a mathematical approach, related to smooth fields.
