Flat band fine-tuning and its photonic applications

C Danieli, A Andreanov, D Leykam, S Flach - Nanophotonics, 2024 - degruyter.com
Flat bands–single-particle energy bands–in tight-binding lattices, aka networks, have
attracted attention due to the presence of macroscopic degeneracies and their sensitivity to …

Critical-to-insulator transitions and fractality edges in perturbed flat bands

S Lee, A Andreanov, S Flach - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the effect of quasiperiodic perturbations on one-dimensional all-bands-flat lattice
models. Such networks can be diagonalized by a finite sequence of local unitary …

Compact localized states in electric circuit flat-band lattices

C Chase-Mayoral, LQ English, N Lape, Y Kim, S Lee… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We generate compact localized states (CLSs) in an electrical diamond lattice, comprised of
only capacitors and inductors, via local driving near its flat-band frequency. We compare …

Flat band induced metal-insulator transitions for weak magnetic flux and spin-orbit disorder

Y Kim, T Čadež, A Andreanov, S Flach - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We consider manifolds of tunable all-bands-flat (ABF) lattices in dimensions d= 1, 2,
parameterized by a manifold angle parameter θ. We study localization properties of …

Critical state generators from perturbed flatbands

S Lee, S Flach, A Andreanov - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of …, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
One-dimensional all-bands-flat lattices are networks with all bands being flat and highly
degenerate. They can always be diagonalized by a finite sequence of local unitary …

Interplay of many-body interactions and quasiperiodic disorder in the all-bands-flat diamond chain

A Ahmed, N Roy, A Sharma - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the effects of quasiperiodic Aubry-André (AA) disorder and interactions on a one-
dimensional all-bands-flat (ABF) diamond chain. We consider the application of disorder in …

Anomalous diffusion, prethermalization, and particle binding in an interacting flat band system

M Daumann, T Dahm - New Journal of Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the broadening of initially localized wave packets in a quasi one-dimensional
diamond ladder with interacting, spinless fermions. The lattice possesses a flat band …

Conductance transition with interacting bosons in an Aharonov-Bohm cage

AR Kolovsky, PS Muraev, S Flach - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We study the transport of interacting bosons through an Aharonov-Bohm cage—a building
block of flat-band networks—with coherent pump and sink leads. In the absence of …

Many-body localization in translationally invariant diamond ladders with flat bands

M Daumann, R Steinigeweg, T Dahm - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The presence of flat bands is a source of localization in lattice systems. While flat bands are
often unstable with respect to interactions between the particles, they can persist in certain …

Trap** hard-core bosons in flat-band lattices

S Lee, A Andreanov, T Sedrakyan, S Flach - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We investigate one-dimensional (1D) and 2D cross-stitch lattices with hard-core bosons and
analytically construct exact ground states that feature macroscopic degeneracy. The …
