This study investigates the topological behavior of a continuous elastic phononic structure characterized by a 3-term Kekul\'e distortion. The elastic waveguide consists of a hexagonal unit cell whose geometric dimensions are intentionally…
Employing tight-binding model we investigate the effects of a uniform Y-shaped Kekule lattice distortion on the electronic spectrum and optical conductivity of graphene. We derive a low-energy effective Hamiltonian which is found to be in…
The effects of second-neighbor interactions in Kekule patterned graphene electronic properties are studied starting from a tight-binding Hamiltonian. Thereafter, a low-energy effective Hamiltonian is obtained by projecting the high energy…
Using density-functional theory, we calculate the electronic bandstructure of single-layer graphene on top of hexagonal In_2Te_2 monolayers. The geometric configuration with In and Te atoms at centers of carbon hexagons leads to a Kekule'…
Kekul\'e-O order in graphene, which has recently been realized experimentally, induces Dirac electron masses on the order of $m \sim 100 \text{meV}$. We show that twisted bilayer graphene in which one or both layers have Kekul\'e-O order…
Two-dimensional Dirac materials with a flat band have been demonstrated to possess a plethora of unusual electronic properties, but the optical properties of these materials are less studied. Utilizing $\alpha$-$\mathcal{T}_3$ lattice as a…
Translation symmetry-breaking order is assumed to be suppressed by the lack of Fermi surface nesting near certain higher-order Van Hove singularities (HOVHS). We show the anisotropic band-flattening inherent to such HOVHS, combined with…
Optical conductivity measurements are combined with density functional theory calculations in order to understand the electrodynamic response of the frustrated Mott insulators Herbertsmithite $\mathrm{ZnCu_{3}(OH)_{6}Cl_{2}}$ and the…
Breaking the intrinsic chirality of quasiparticles in graphene enables the emergence of new and intriguing phases. One such paradigmatic example is the bond density wave, which leads to a Kekul\'{e}-ordered structure and underpins exotic…
Chiral two-dimensional electron gases, which capture the electronic properties of graphene and rhombohedral graphene systems, exhibit singular momentum-space vortices and are susceptible to interaction-induced topological Haldane phases.…
Ti2O3 exhibits a unique metal-insulator transition (MIT) at approximately 450 K over a wide temperature range of ~ 150 K. This broad MIT accompanied by lattice deformation differs from the sharp MITs observed in most other transition-metal…
The electron-transport properties of adatom-graphene system are investigated for different (random, correlated, and ordered) spatial configurations of adatoms over different types of high symmetry sites with various adsorption heights. K…
Intervalley scattering of carriers in graphene at `top' adatoms may give rise to a hidden Kekul\'e ordering pattern in the adatom positions. This ordering is the result of a rapid modulation in the electron-mediated interaction between…
We have laid out the results of a rigorous theoretical investigation into the response of electron dressed states, i.e., interacting Floquet states arising from the off-resonant coupling of Dirac spin-1 electrons in the $\alpha$-$T_3$…
Observed optical reflectivity in the infrared spectral region is compared with theoretical predictions in a strongly coupled electron-phonon system. Starting from a Froehlich Hamiltonian, the spectral functions and their temperature…
Flatband systems form a new class of materials that challenge the conventional wisdom of transport. The intrinsically strong electronic correlations combined with the vanishing kinetic energy scale suggest a sensitive dependence of…
Van der Waals materials enable the construction of atomically sharp interfaces between compounds with distinct crystal and electronic properties. This is dramatically exploited in moir\'e systems, where a lattice mismatch or twist between…
The adsorption of an alkali-metal submonolayer on graphene occupying every third hexagon of the honeycomb lattice in a commensurate $(\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3})R30^\circ$ arrangement induces an energy gap in the spectrum of graphene. To…
The Coulomb repulsion, impeding electrons' motion, has an important impact on the charge dynamics. It mainly causes a reduction of the effective metallic Drude weight (proportional to the so-called optical kinetic energy), encountered in…
Recently, hyperbolic lattices that tile the negatively curved hyperbolic plane emerged as a new paradigm of synthetic matter, and their energy levels were characterized by a band structure in a four- (or higher-)dimensional momentum space.…
