Nontrivial quantum geometry of electronic bands has been argued to facilitate superconductivity even for the case of flat dispersions where the conventional contribution to the superfluid weight is suppressed by the large effective mass.…
We show that flat bands can be categorized into two distinct classes, that is, singular and nonsingular flat bands, by exploiting the singular behavior of their Bloch wave functions in momentum space. In the case of a singular flat band,…
In theory of topological classification, the 2D topological superconductors without time reversal symmetry are characterized by Chern numbers. However, in reality, we find the Chern numbers can not reveal the whole properties of the…
Quench dynamics of topological phases have been studied in the past few years and dynamical topological invariants are formulated in different ways. Yet most of these invariants are limited to minimal systems in which Hamiltonians are…
Flat-band states in topological systems provide a unique platform for investigating strongly correlated phenomena and many body physics. However, in 2D static tight-binding systems, perfectly flat bands can only exist in the topologically…
