Description

We propose a feasible scheme to implement a one-dimensional non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with long-range hopping using the electrical circuit system. We investigate the admittance spectrum and node voltage density distribution of the current system. The non-Bloch PT symmetry and its breaking can be effectively demonstrated using the saddle point theory and the ratio of complex eigenenergy. It is important to note that the phase boundary of non-Bloch PT symmetry is solely determined by the long-range hopping strengths. Moreover, we observe that the system exhibits zero-admittance topological end and gap modes with varying strength relations between intercell and long-range hopping. We further represent the winding number phase diagram, which reveals the distinct topological phase transition from w=±1 to w=0. Our work provides a method to simulate nonreciprocal topolectrical circuits and contributes to understanding the interplay between topology and non-Hermiticity.
