▎ 摘　　要

We synthesize artificial graphene nanoribbons by positioning carbon monoxide molecules on a copper surface to confine its surface state electrons into artificial atoms positioned to emulate the low-energy electronic structure of graphene derivatives. We demonstrate that the dimensionality of artificial graphene can be reduced to one dimension with proper "edge" passivation, with the emergence of an effectively gapped one-dimensional nanoribbon structure. These one-dimensional structures show evidence of topological effects analogous to graphene nanoribbons. Guided by first-principles calculations, we spatially explore robust, zero-dimensional topological states by altering the topological invariants of quasi-one-dimensional artificial graphene nanostructures. The robustness and flexibility of our platform allow us to toggle the topological invariants between trivial and nontrivial on the same nanostructure. Ultimately, we spatially manipulate the states to understand fundamental coupling between adjacent topological states that are finely engineered and simulate complex Hamiltonians.
