One-dimensional flat bands and Dirac cones in narrow zigzag dice lattice ribbons
arXiv:2304.13631 · doi:10.1016/j.mseb.2023.116486
Abstract
We show that four narrow zigzag dice lattice ribbons, which have the minimal widths among their separate categories, constitute a unique collection of systems to study physics related to one-dimensional Dirac cones and flat bands. In zero magnetic field, all three combinations, including only Dirac cones, only flat bands, coexisting Dirac cones and flat bands, are realized in the low-energy band structures of one or two of the four ribbons. In particular, we identify flat bands and Dirac cones corresponding to the edge states of wide ribbons. In a perpendicular magnetic field that gives half a flux quantum per elementary rhombus, two of the four minimal ribbons have fully pinched spectrum, and dynamical evolutions from initially localized wave packets always lead to compact Aharonov-Bohm (AB) cages. The experimental realizations of these narrow zigzag dice lattice ribbons, and the opportunities of exploring novel single-body and many-body physics therein are discussed.
