Abstract
A periodic network of connected rhombi, mimicking a spintronic device, is shown to exhibit an intriguing spin-selective extreme localization, when submerged in a uniform out-of plane electric field. The topological Aharonov-Casher phase acquired by a travelling spin is seen to induce a complete caging, triggered at a special strength of the spin-orbit coupling, for half-odd integer spins s ≥ n~/2, with n odd, sparing the integer spins. The observation finds exciting experimental parallels in recent literature on caged, extreme localized modes in analogous photonic lattices. Our results are exact.
