Dimensional hierarchy of higher-order topology in three-dimensional sonic crystals

Here, the authors report the experimental discovery of such a dimensional hierarchy of the topologically-protected 2D surface states, 1D hinge states and 0D corner states in a single 3D acoustic system by using higher-order topological sonic crystals.
