الوصف: A two-dimensional mass-spring system with Honeycomb lattice for mimicking phononic quantum Hall effect is proposed. Its band structure shows the existence of Dirac cones and unconventional edge states that is similar to the vibrational modes in graphene. Interestingly, as the system is placed on a constantly rotational coordinate system, the Coriolis force resulted from the non-inertial reference frame provides a possibility to break the time-reversal symmetry. Thus, caused from topologically non-trivial band gaps, phononic edge states are present between bands, which are verified by the calculation of Chern numbers for corresponding bands.
