Abstract
In many applications, topological effects can be characterized by a quantized topological invariant [1]. In this work, we investigate a new type of topological insulator that stands apart from this formalism, since it exhibits spectral bands with non-quantized topological properties. As it turns out, this system can nevertheless be reconciled with the existing paradigm, since a quantization can be established by squaring the Hamiltonian Fig. 1(b).
