We study ribbons of the dice two-dimensional lattice (that we call ``dice ladders'') known to have nontrivial topological properties, such as Chern numbers 2 [Wang and Y. Ran, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 84}, 241103 (2011)]. Our main results are two…
Many-body effects in condensed matter yield novel quantum states when the electronic density of states is enhanced. A vivid example is flat bands, which suppress kinetic energy and let interactions dominate, when they are filled with an…
