Abstract
We present a first-principles study of the Haldane model in an “artificial graphene”
platform formed by a two-dimensional electron gas modulated by an electrostatic potential with
the honeycomb symmetry and by a static spatially-varying magnetic field. The relation between
the tight-binding parameters and the actual physical parameters is found. The overall topo-
logical properties of the material are determined and compared to the Haldane’s theory, and
the consequences of a quantized Hall conductivity on the photonic topological properties are
discussed.
