Higher-order topological Anderson insulator on the Sierpiński lattice

Disorder effects on topological materials in integer dimensions have been extensively explored in recent years.How-ever,its influence on topological systems in fractional dimensions remains unclear.Here,we investigate the disorder effects on a fractal system constructed on the Sierpiński lattice in fractional dimensions.The system supports the second-order topological insulator phase characterized by a quantized quadrupole moment and the normal insulator phase.We find that the second-order topological insulator phase on the Sierpiński lattice is robust against weak disorder but suppressed by strong disorder.Most interestingly,we find that disorder can transform the normal insulator phase to the second-order topological insulator phase with an emergent quantized quadrupole moment.Finally,the disorder-induced phase is further confirmed by calculating the energy spectrum and the corresponding probability distributions.
