Flat bands with high Chern numbers and multiple flat bands in multifold staggered-flux models

ZY Lan, AL He, YF Wang - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Topological flat bands (TFBs) have been proposed in Chern-insulator lattice models. Some
two-dimensional monolayer systems can host TFBs with the Chern number| C|= 1, and some …
