Electronic flat bands have localized Wannier-like orbitals as zero modes. In the Lieb or the kagome models, the localized orbitals satisfy a topological condition that entails two non-contractible loop eigenstates along $x/y$-axis in real…

As well known, magnetic fields in space are distributed very inhomogeneously. Some-times field distributions have forms of filaments with high magnetic field values. As many ob-servations show, such a filamentation takes place in convective…
