Flat bands are of extreme interest in a broad spectrum of fields since given by their high degeneracy, a small perturbation introduced in the system is able to push the ground state in the direction of an ordered phase of interest. Hence…

Rhombohedral (ABC-stacked) multilayer graphene hosts interaction-driven phases enabled by surface flat bands at large displacement fields. In thick flakes, however, strong screening suppresses internal electric fields, raising the question…
Classical spin liquids are disordered magnetic phases, governed by local constraints that often give rise to flat-band ground states. When constraints take the form of a zero-divergence field within a cluster of spins, the spin liquid is…
The Hopf insulator is a weak topological insulator characterized by an insulating bulk with conducting edge states protected by an integer-valued linking number invariant. The state exists in three-dimensional two-band models. We…
