"Flat electronic bands can enhance electron interactions, potentially creating new quantum phases and unusual low-energy behaviors," Si said. These bands are especially sought after in transition ...

Researchers at Rice University have found an alloy of copper, vanadium, and sulfur that forms crystals that, due to quantum effects, can trap electrons. This can produce flat bands, which have been ...

Physicists have directly visualized the fundamental electronic building blocks of flat-band quantum materials, a class of systems in which electron motion is effectively quenched and strong ...

Researchers observed and verified flat-band ultrastrong coupling of optical phonons and surface plasmon polaritons, enabling new polariton tech. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, in ...

Scientists predict the existence of flat electronic bands at the Fermi level, a finding that could enable new forms of quantum computing and electronic devices. In a study published in Nature ...
