We report on a study of a one-dimensional linear photonic lattice hosting, simultaneously, fundamental and dipolar modes at every site. We show how, thanks to the interaction between the different orbital modes, this minimal model exhibits…

Flat-band topologies and localizations in non-interacting systems are extensively studied in different quantum and classical-wave systems. Recently, the exploration on the novel physics of flat-band localizations and topologies in…

The dynamic equations for the fluxes through the SQUIDs that form a two-dimensional metamamaterial on a Lieb lattice are derived, and then linearized around zero flux to obtain the linear frequency spectrum according to the standard…

Theoretical quest of flat-band tight-binding models usually relies on lattice structures on which electrons reside. Typical examples of candidate lattice structures include the Lieb-type lattices and the line graphs. Meanwhile, there can be…

Materials that have zero-energy flat band states on the surface may show surface superconductivity. Here we report a theoretical observation that a Hamiltonian describing a thin slab of topological nodal line semimetal, has zero energy…

Flat bands - single-particle energy bands - in tight-binding networks have attracted attention due to the presence of macroscopic degeneracies and their extreme sensitivity to perturbations. This makes them natural candidates for emerging…

Electrons with large kinetic energy have a superconducting instability for infinitesimal attractive interactions. Quenching the kinetic energy and creating a flat band renders an infinitesimal repulsive interaction the relevant…

Certain lattice wave systems in translationally invariant settings have one or more spectral bands that are strictly flat or independent of momentum in the tight binding approximation, arising from either internal symmetries or fine-tuned…

We analyze the topological and dynamical properties of a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce all-to-all excitation hopping. We find that, in the single excitation limit, the…

The study of topological states in electronic structures, which allows robust transport properties against impurities and defects, has been recently extended to the realm of elasticity. This work shows that nontrivial topological flexural…

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…

A flat energy dispersion of electrons at the Fermi level of a material leads to instabilities in the electronic system and can drive phase transitions. Here we introduce a method to induce a flat band in two-dimensional (2D) materials. We…

The topological properties of the flat band states of a one-electron Hamiltonian that describes a chain of atoms with $s-p$ orbitals are explored. This model is mapped onto a Kitaev-Creutz type model, providing a useful framework to…

Periodic photonic structures enable precise control over the light-matter interaction through band structure engineering. Certain lattice geometries exhibit dispersionless flat bands, characterized by vanishing group velocity and diverging…

We construct quasi one-dimensional topological and non-topological three-band lattices with tunable band gap and winding number of the flat band. Using mean field (MF) and exact density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations, we…

In a flat band superconductor, bosonic excitations can disperse while unpaired electrons are immobile. To study this strongly interacting system, we construct a family of multi-band Hubbard models with exact eta-pairing ground states in all…

Flat bands are of significant interest due to their potential for energy confinement and their ability to enable strongly correlated physics. Incorporating topology into flatband systems further enhances flatband mode robustness against…

We construct a simple model for electrons in a three-dimensional crystal where a combination of short-range hopping and spin-orbit coupling results in nearly flat bands characterized by a non-trivial Z2 topological index. The flat band is…

Flat energy bands of model lattice Hamiltonians provide a key ingredient in designing dispersionless wave excitations and have become a versatile platform to study various aspects of interacting many-body systems. Their essential merit lies…

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…
