For a region with a non-trivial topological phase characterized by a non-zero Chern number, the perturbation introduced an energy gap closing and divided the non-trivial region into three, which possessed a topologically trivial region and two non-trivial regions. The perturbation induced singularities on the Berry curvature which led to the division of the original topologically non-trivial region.}, year = {2018}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 36th Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas Physics Conference}, pages = {SPP-2018-PB-24}, month = {6{\textendash}9 June 2018}, address = {Puerto Princesa City, Philippines}, url = {https://paperview.spp-online.org/proceedings/article/view/SPP-2018-PB-24}, }
