| contents | Among the many far-reaching consequences of the potential existence of a magnetic monopole, it induces topological zero modes in the Dirac equation, which were derived by Jackiw and Rebbi 46 years ago and have been elusive ever since. Here, we show that the monopole and multi-monopole solutions can be constructed in the band theory by coupling the three-dimensional Dirac points in hedgehog spatial configurations through Dirac-mass engineering. We then experimentally demonstrate such a monopole bound state in a structurally-modulated acoustic crystal as a cavity device. These monopole resonators not only support an arbitrary number of degenerate mid-gap modes, but also offer the optimal single-mode behavior possible -- whose modal spacing is inversely proportional to the cubic root of the modal volume. Our work completes the kink-vortex-monopole trilogy of zero modes and provides the largest free spectral range for sizable resonators. |
