  "abstract": "Structural defects, such as disclinations and dislocations, destroy the long-range crystalline or- der as they proliferate. In this work, we continuously drive a system from a crystalline state on a decorated honeycomb lattice to a hyperuniform amorphous state, by consecutively introducing Stone-Wales (SW) defects, which can be viewed as dipoles of dislocations. Using a topological Weaire–Thorpe Hamiltonian model to describe electrons in this system, we demonstrate that SW defects can cause pseudo-band inversions and, correspondingly, a reversal of the Chern number. Using adiabatic arguments and a computationally efficient spillage indicator, we predict the topological phase diagram of the amorphous state from the crystalline one. We explain the nature of the pseudo-band inversion through the renormalization of the hopping in an effective Hamiltonian based on a single SW defect.",
