    The author establishes a criterion for the existence of continuous non-constant eigenfunctions for interval exchange transformations that are non topologically weakly mixing. The author first constructs, for any \(m\geq 3\), uniquely ergodic interval exchange transformations of \(\mathbb{Q}\)-rank 2 with irrational eigenvalues associated to continuous eigenfunctions that are not topologically weakly mixing. This answers affirmatively a question raised by Ferenczi and Zamboni. Furthermore, the author constructs, for any even integer \(m\geq 4\), interval exchange transformations of \(\mathbb{Q}\)-rank 2 with both irrational eigenvalues (associated to continuous eigenfunctions) and non trivial rational eigenvalues (associated to piecewise continuous eigenfunctions). The examples provided can be chosen to be either uniquely ergodic or non minimal.
