We propose a new class of tight-binding models where a flat band is either gapped from or crossing right through a dispersive band on two-band (i.e., two sites/unit cell) tetragonal and honeycomb lattices. By imposing a condition on the…
Dispersionless flat bands can be classified into two types: (1) non-singular flat bands whose eigenmodes are completely characterized by compact localized states; and (2) singular flat bands that have a discontinuity in their Bloch…

Certain lattices with specific geometries have one or more spectral bands that are strictly flat, i.e. the electron energy is independent of the momentum. This can occur robustly irrespective of the specific couplings between the lattices…
