Exotic phases of matter emerge from the interplay between strong electron interactions and non-trivial topology. Owing to their lack of dispersion at the single-particle level, systems harboring flat bands are excellent testbeds for…
Flat bands (FB) are strictly dispersionless bands in the Bloch spectrum of a periodic lattice Hamiltonian, recently observed in a variety of photonic and dissipative condensate networks. FB Hamiltonians are finetuned networks, still lacking…
We review recent progresses in the study of flat band systems, especially focusing on the fundamental physics related to the singularity of the flat band's Bloch wave functions. We first explain that the flat bands can be classified into…
We introduce a systematic method for constructing a class of lattice structures that we call ``partial line graphs''.In tight-binding models on partial line graphs, energy bands with flat energy dispersions emerge.This method can be applied…
On the basis of the "molecular-orbital" representation which describes generic flat-band models, we propose a systematic way to construct a class of flat-band models with finite-range hoppings that have topological natures. In these models,…
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…
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…
We develop a simple and general method to construct arbitrary Flat Band lattices. We identify the basic ingredients behind zero-dispersion bands and develop a method to construct extended lattices based on a consecutive repetition of a…
The band structure of some translationally invariant lattice Hamiltonians contains strictly dispersionless flatbands(FB). These are induced by destructive interference, and typically host compact localized eigenstates (CLS) which occupy a…
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…
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…
The capability to temporarily arrest the propagation of optical signals is one of the main challenges hampering the ever more widespread use of light in rapid long-distance transmission as well as all-optical on-chip signal processing or…
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…
We propose a framework for the connection between local symmetries of discrete Hamiltonians and the design of compact localized states. Such compact localized states are used for the creation of tunable, local symmetry-induced bound states…
We investigate the origin of the ubiquitous existence of flat bands in the network superstructures of atomic chains, where one-dimensional(1D) atomic chains array periodically. While there can be many ways to connect those chains, we…
The increased ability to engineer two-dimensional (2D) systems, either using materials, photonic lattices, or cold atoms, has led to the search for 2D structures with interesting properties. One such property is the presence of flat bands.…
Flat bands can be divided into singular and non-singular ones according to the behavior of their Bloch wave function around band-crossing points in momentum space. We analyze the flat band in the Dice model, which can be tuned by a uniaxial…
Flat bands are intriguing platforms for correlated and topological physics. Various methods have been developed to create flat bands utilizing lattice geometry, but the investigation of orbital symmetry in multiorbital materials is a new…
Noncontractible loop states (NLSs) are recently realized topological entity in flatband lattices, arising typically from band touching at a point where a flat band intersects one or more dispersive bands. There exists also band touching…
Flatband systems typically host "compact localized states"(CLS) due to destructive interference and macroscopic degeneracy of Bloch wave functions associated with a dispersionless energy band. Using a photonic Lieb lattice(LL), we show that…
