Monolayer kagome lattice brings flat-band physics to higher temperatures

Original: Monolayer van der Waals kagome lattice for high-temperature flat-band physics

Researchers report creating a monolayer van der Waals kagome lattice, a one-atom-thick material whose geometry hosts flat electronic bands. Flat bands amplify electron interactions, and observing them at high temperature rather than in cryogenic conditions would open the door to exotic states such as unconventional superconductivity and magnetism in atomically thin, stackable devices, a long-sought goal in condensed matter physics.

Why now: It is a newly published Nature result on quantum materials with potential for high-temperature exotic electronic phases.
