Abstract: Based on the quantum valley-hall effect,a two-dimensional valley phononic crystal topological insulator with C3v symmetry has been designed.By rotating the angle of the scatterers inside the lattice,the topological properties of the lattice were changed.A supercell structure was constructed using two-dimensional valley phononic crystals with different topological phases,and the high-order topological corner states were investigated.The results show that when the rotation angle is changed,the symmetry of the system will decrease from C3v symmetry to C3 symmetry.When -30°<θ< 0°,the system corresponds to a non-trivial phase,while when 0°<θ<30°,the system corresponds to a trivial phase.When the internal lattice has a non-trivial phase and the external lattice has a trivial phase,there are three continuous corner states at the corners of the Zigzag boundary of the supercell structure.However,when the internal lattice has a trivial phase and the external lattice has a non-trivial phase,there are no corner states in the supercell structure.Before and after introducing disorder defects,the intrinsic field distribution of the corner states shows no significant change,demonstrating good robustness.
