文摘In the pursuit of novel quantum states of matter,condensed matter physicists have long been fascinated by lattice geometries that host flat electronic bands.These bands,characterized by quenched electronic kinetic energy,are a fertile ground for strong electron correlations,leading to a diversity of emergent phenomena,such as unconventional superconductivity,magnetism,and fractional quantum Hall effects.[1]Among these,the Lieb lattice,i.e.,a two-dimensional square lattice with a basis of one corner and two edge states,holds a special place with its electronic band structure featuring a massless Dirac cone pierced by a perfectly flat band.
