A bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a spatially bounded energy eigenstate lying in a continuous spectrum of extended eigenstates. While various types of single-particle BICs have been found in the literature, whether or not BICs can…

Bound states in the continuum (BIC) have been studied mainly in optics. Recently, electronic BIC have been proposed. They appear as points in the momentum space and are protected topologically by the Chern number. In this study, we propose…
