Emergence of Nearly Flat Bands through an Embedded Kagome Lattice in an Epitaxial Two-dimensional Ge Layer on ZrB2(0001)

Antoine Fleurence, Chi-Cheng Lee, Rainer Friedlein +8

Ge atoms segregating on zirconium diboride thin films grown on Ge(111) were found to crystallize into a two-dimensional bitriangular structure which was recently predicted to be a…
