Monolayer kagome lattice opens door to high-temperature flat-band physics

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

Researchers report the creation of a monolayer van der Waals kagome lattice, a two-dimensional material with a geometry that supports flat electronic bands. Such flat bands enhance electron correlations, and observing them at high temperatures could enable exotic quantum states, including unusual superconductivity and magnetism, in atomically thin devices. The work, published in Nature, is drawing attention as a step toward practical flat-band materials that operate without extreme cooling.

Why now: The Nature publication of a new monolayer kagome lattice makes high-temperature flat-band physics experimentally accessible, exciting the condensed-matter community.
