Strain induced localization to delocalization transition on a Lieb photonic ribbon lattice

Abstract Ribbon lattices are kind of transition systems in between one and two dimensions, and their study is crucial to understand the origin of different emerging properties. In this work, we study a Lieb ribbon lattice and the localization–delocalization transition occurring due to a reduction of...
