two-dimensional square-lattice all-dielectric photonic crystal without both C 4 and M x (y)
symmetries. Specifically, nontrivial type-I corner states, which do not exist in systems with C
4 and M x (y) since the degeneracy, are protected by a nonzero quadrupole moment, no
longer quantized to but less than 0.5. Excellent properties, for example, subwavelength
localization and air-concentrated field distribution, are presented. Type-II corner states …
