We propose a powerful and convenient method to systematically design flat-band lattice models, which overcomes the difficulties underlying the previous method. Especially, our method requires no elaborate calculations, applies to arbitrary…
We analyze the STM current through electronic resonances on a substrate as a function of tip-surface distance. We show that when the tip approaches the surface a Fano hybridization can occur between the electronic resonance on the substrate…
A flat band is nondispersive and formed under destructive interference. Although flat bands are found in various Hermitian systems, to realize a flat band in non-Hermitian systems is an interesting task. Here, we propose a flat band in a…
Electron and phonon states in two different models of intentionally disordered superlattices are studied analytically as well as numerically. The localization length is calculated exactly and we found that it diverges for particular…
Field localization boosts nonlinear optical processes at the hot spots of metal nanostructures. Fano resonances can further enhance these "local" processes taking place at the hot spots. However, in conventional nonlinear materials, the…
Line-graph (LG) lattices are known for having flat bands (FBs) from the destructive interference of Bloch wavefunctions encoded in pure lattice symmetry. Here, we develop a generic atomic/molecular orbital design principle for FBs in non-LG…
We show the existence of a flat band consisting of photonic zero modes in a gain and loss modulated lattice system, as a result of the underlying non-Hermitian particle-hole symmetry. This general finding explains the previous observation…

The effect of asymmetric functionally graded material on the edge resonance and the Fano resonance in semi-infinite FGM plates are reported in this work. The edge resonance is weakened by the material perturbation and the complete mode…
Flat band (FB) systems provide ideal playgrounds for studying correlation physics, whereas multi-orbital characteristics in real materials are distinguished from most simple FB models. Here, we propose a systematic and versatile framework…

Recent theoretical work has predicted that dislocation patterning induces anisotropic flat bands in the electronic band diagram, which can lead to unusual effects such as unconventional superconductivity. This work develops a…
Based on the substantial difference in the response time for the resonant and background partitions at stepwise variations of the exiting signal, a simple exactly integrable model describing the dynamic Fano resonance (DFRs) is proposed.…
Fano resonances in photonics arise from the coupling and interference between two resonant modes in structures with broken symmetry. They feature an uneven and narrow and tunable lineshape, and are ideally suited for optical spectroscopy.…
The interplay between local and itinerant electrons underpins many correlated and topological quantum states. Kagome lattices provide an ideal platform by hosting both flat (localized states) and dispersive bands (itinerant states), yet…
We report about a mechanism for surface localization, present in finite defect-free polyatomic lattices described by a tight binding model. Numerical diagonalization and degenerated perturbation theory show that there is a minimum number of…
We introduce and explore patterned lattices consisting of coupled isospectral cells that vary across the lattice. The isospectrality of the cells is encapsulated in the phase that characterizes each cell and can be designed at will such…
