Optical properties of two dimensional Dirac Weyl materials with a flatband
arXiv:2402.14238 · doi:10.1063/5.0178936
Abstract
The emergence of a flat band in Dirac-Weyl materials offers new possibilities for electronic transitions, leading to stronger interaction with light. As a result, the optical conductivity can be significantly enhanced in these flat-band materials as compared with graphene, making them potentially better candidates for optical sensing and modulation. Recently, a comprehensive theory for the optical conductivity of a spectrum of flat-band Dirac-Weyl materials has been developed, with explicit formulas for both the real and imaginary parts of the conductivity derived through two independent approaches. This Perspective offers a review of the development. An understanding of the optical properties of the flat-band Dirac-Weyl materials paves the way for optical device applications in the terahertz-frequency domain.
