Deskripsi

In flat band materials, the ’flat’ dispersion of the electronic states mean that interactions between electrons can be strong, potentially leading to a variety of interesting magnetic and transport properties. Here, Nag et al study the Kagomé semimetal Co3Sn2S2, and show a nearly flat Stoner excitation dispersion, a clear indication of spin-polarized and flat electronic bands.
