Multi-band touchings such as 3-band, 6-band and 8-band touchings together with the emergence of high pseudospin fermions were predicted recently at high-symmetry points in three-dimensional space. In this paper, we propose a simple cubic…

We develop a framework to describe a wide class of flat-band models, with and without a translational symmetry, by using "molecular orbitals" introduced in the prior work (HATSUGAI Y. and MARUYAMA I., \textit{EPL}, \textbf{95}, (2011)…

We derive an exact formula of orbital susceptibility expressed in terms of Bloch wave functions, starting from the exact one-line formula by Fukuyama in terms of Green's functions. The obtained formula contains four contributions: (1)…
A recent tight-binding scheme provides a method for extending the results of first principles calculations to regimes involving $10^2 - 10^3$ atoms in a unit cell. The method uses an analytic set of two-center, non-orthogonal tight-binding…
We perform a first principles band calculation for quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductors $\beta$-(BDA-TTP)$_{2}$I$_{3}$ and $\beta$-(BDA-TTP)$_{2}$SbF$_{6}$. The first principles band structures between the I$_{3}$ and SbF$_{6}$…

Mode conversion of transverse electromagnetic waves into longitudinal oscillations and the associated resonant absorption of wave energy in inhomogeneous plasmas is a phenomenon that has been studied extensively in plasma physics. We show…
In flat bands, superconductivity can lead to surprising transport effects. The superfluid "mobility", in the form of the superfluid weight $D_s$, does not draw from the curvature of the band but has a purely band-geometric origin. In a…
