We propose a novel mechanism of flat band formation based on the relative biasing of only one sublattice against other sublattices in a honeycomb lattice bilayer. The mechanism allows modification of the band dispersion from parabolic to “Mexican hat”–like through the formation of a flattened band. The mechanism is well applicable for bilayer graphene—both doped and undoped. By angle-resolved photoemission from bilayer graphene on SiC, we demonstrate the possibility of realizing this extremely flattened band (< 2-meV dispersion), which extends two-dimensionally in a k-space area around the K¯ point and results in a disk-like constant energy cut. We argue that our two-dimensional flat band model and the experimental results have the potential to contribute to achieving superconductivity of graphene- or graphite-based systems at elevated temperatures.

We study the doping dependence of photoemission spectra for the t-t′-t″-J model by using the exact diagonalization technique and present a consistent theoretical analysis. Both calculations show that upon doping the enhancement of incoherent motion of holes due to the t′ and t″ terms accounts for the formation of the flat region around (π,0) in the quasiparticle dispersion at underdoped and optimally doped region, despite the absence of the flat band at half filling. Our results are in excellent agreement with resent photoemission experiments on Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 1 Cu 2 O 8+δ [Marshall et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.76, 4841 (1996)] and Sr 2 CuO 2 Cl 2 [Wells et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.74, 964 (1995)].

AbstractWith the advanced investigations into low-dimensional systems, it has become essential to find materials having interesting lattices that can be exfoliated down to monolayer. One particular important structure is a kagome lattice with its potentially diverse and vibrant physics. We report a van-der-Waals kagome lattice material, Pd3P2S8, with several unique properties such as an intriguing flat band. The flat band is shown to arise from a possible compact-localized state of all five 4d orbitals of Pd. The diamagnetic susceptibility is precisely measured to support the calculated susceptibility obtained from the band structure. We further demonstrate that Pd3P2S8 can be exfoliated down to monolayer, which ultimately will allow the possible control of the localized states in this two-dimensional kagome lattice using the electric field gating.

Recent advances in the fabrication of nanoscale material systems have made it possible to alter precisely the atomic structure in ways that enhance the properties and allow for certain functions to be realized. This work is concerned with two-dimensional periodic structures and emphasizes the effects of intentional defects on their wave propagation characteristics. In this draft paper, investigations are limited to a two-dimensional spring-mass lattice, composed of “super-cells” where mass inclusions are added to alter band-gap properties, as well as low frequency directionality. The presented results will then be extended to two-dimensional nanostructures, such as graphene nanosheets, in order to investigate their application as nanoscale acoustic waveguides, where engineered defects, uniformally distributed across the entire sheet, are introduced by design with the objective of rendering the medium anisotropic. Such anisoptropy leads to acoustic directionality, which can be exploited for waveguiding or acoustic-focusing purposes.

Abstract We consider a two-dimensional extension of the one-dimensional waveguide quantum electrodynamics and investigate the nature of linear excitations in two-dimensional arrays of qubits (particularly, semiconductor quantum dots) coupled to networks of chiral waveguides. We show that the combined effects of chirality and long-range photon mediated qubit-qubit interactions lead to the emergence of the two-dimensional flat bands in the polaritonic spectrum, corresponding to slow strongly correlated light.

The energy dispersion of fermions or bosons vanishes in momentum space if destructive quantum interference occurs in a frustrated Kagome lattice with only nearest-neighbor hopping. A discrete flat band (FB) without any dispersion is consequently formed, promising the emergence of fractional quantum Hall states at high temperatures. Here, we report the experimental realization of an FB with possible nontrivial topology in an electronic Kagome lattice on twisted multilayer silicene. Because of the unique low-buckled two-dimensional structure of silicene, a robust electronic Kagome lattice has been successfully induced by moiré patterns after twisting the silicene multilayers. The electrons are localized in the Kagome lattice because of quantum destructive interference, and thus, their kinetic energy is quenched, which gives rise to an FB peak in the density of states. A robust and pronounced one-dimensional edge state has been revealed at the Kagome edge, which resides at higher energy than the FB. Our observations of the FB and the exotic edge state in electronic Kagome lattice open up the possibility that fractional Chern insulators could be realized in two-dimensional materials.
