Two-dimensional atomic crystals can radically change their properties in response to external influences such as substrate orientation or strain, resulting in essentially new materials in terms of the electronic structure. A striking…
Flat bands underlie a diverse range of quantum phenomena, from strongly correlated phases to superconductivity. We theoretically establish that a two-dimensional electron gas under a linear magnetic-field gradient and a transverse electric…
We report the theoretical discovery of a large class of 2D tight-binding models containing nearly-flat bands with nonzero Chern numbers. In contrast with previous studies, where nonlocal hoppings are usually required, the Hamiltonians of…
We investigate the ground-state properties of one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii flat-band lattices. We uncover a geometry-driven phase transition into a macroscopically degenerate nematic state with broken time reversal symmetry. Focusing on…
We present a thorough tight-binding analysis of the band structure of a wide variety of lattices belonging to the class of honeycomb and Kagome systems including several mixed forms combining both lattices. The band structure of these…
This article aims to study the existence of stable Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener tunneling in a non-Hermitian system when exposed to external fields. We investigate a non-Hermitian $\cal{PT}$-symmetric diamond chain network and its…
Recent transport studies have demonstrated the great potential of twisted monolayer-bilayer graphene (tMBG) as a new platform to host moir\'e flat bands with a higher tunability than twisted bilayer graphene (tBG). However, a direct…
Magic-angle ($\theta=1.05^\circ$) twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) has shown two seemingly contradictory characters: the localization and quantum-dot-like behavior in STM experiments, and delocalization in transport experiments. We…
We study the impact of classical short-range nonlinear interactions on transport in lattices with no dispersion. The single particle band structure of these lattices contains flat bands only, and cages non-interacting particles into compact…
We formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of dispersionless energy eigenvalues (so-called `flat bands') and their associated compact localized eigenstates in $M$-dimensional tight-binding lattices with $N$ sites…
We present a numerical study of Anderson localization in disordered non-Hermitian lattice models with flat bands. Specifically we consider one-dimensional stub and two-dimensional kagome lattices that have a random scalar potential and a…
The concept of flat band plays an important role in strongly-correlated many-body physics. However, the demonstration of the flat band physics is highly nontrivial due to intrinsic limitations in conventional condensed matter materials.…
Quantum geometry of electronic state in momentum space, distinct from real-space structural geometry, has attracted increasing interest to shed light on understanding quantum phenomena. An interesting recent study [Nature 584, 59-63 (2020)]…
We study the effective Bloch-wave scattering of a spinless Fermi gas in one-dimensional (1D) optical lattices. By tuning the odd-wave scattering length, we find multiple resonances of Bloch-waves scattering at the bottom (and the top) of…
We show the existence of a flat band consisting of photonic zero modes in a gain and loss modulated lattice system, as a result of the underlying non-Hermitian particle-hole symmetry. This general finding explains the previous observation…
We present the Stagome lattice, a variant of the Kagome lattice, where one can make any of the bands completely flat by tuning an externally controllable magnetic flux. This systematically allows the energy of the flat band to coincide with…
Understanding the wave transport and localisation is a major goal in the study of lattices of different nature. In general, inhibiting the energy transport on a perfectly periodic and disorder-free system is challenging, however, some…
We investigate a Lieb lattice of quantum emitters coupled to a two-dimensional waveguide network and demonstrate that this system supports an energetically isolated flat band, enabling localization despite the presence of long-range…
We prove that generic quantum local Hamiltonians are gapless. In fact, we prove that there is a continuous density of states above the ground state. The Hamiltonian can be on a lattice in any spatial dimension or on a graph with a bounded…
Band structure analysis is central to understanding wave propagation in periodic media; however, it becomes challenging in open systems owing to energy leakage. Photonic crystal (PhC) slabs exemplify such systems, featuring periodicity in…
