Designing single and degenerate flat bands in the kagome lattice with long-range hopping
arXiv:2407.16415 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.115105
Abstract
We investigate the electronic structure of the kagome lattice model with first, second, and two kinds of third nearest-neighbor hoppings. We reveal that by tuning the third nearest-neighbor hoppings, not only single flat band but also degenerate flat band can be created on the Γ- M line. We provide the detailed conditions to realize them. The coexistence of these bands can be almost realized near the fundamental band gap in graphene with triangular defects in a superhoneycomb arrangement. Furthermore, due to these flat bands, several sharp peaks appear in the optical conductivity. Our results strongly indicate that long-range electron hopping has a new possibility for designing electronic structures.
