Flat bands and higher-order topology in polymerized triptycene: Tight-binding analysis on decorated star lattices

Abstract: In a class of carbon-based materials called polymerized triptycene, which consist of triptycene molecules and phenyls, exotic electronic structures such as Dirac cones and flat bands arise from the kagome-type network. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the tight-bind models for polymerized triptycene, focusing on the origin of flat bands and the topological properties. The mechanism of the existence of the flat bands is elucidated by using the "molecular-orbital" representation, which we have develop… Show more

“…Also the flat bands show a few characteristic behaviors in thermodynamic quantities, which we summarize in SI. 41 -Note Added : After the completion of this work, we became aware of independent work on decorated star lattices 68 where flat bands and higher-order topology are also discussed. We also thank Hosho Katsura for several useful comments and bringing our attention to the recent indepedent paper.…”

“…We also thank Hosho Katsura for several useful comments and bringing our attention to the recent indepedent paper. 68 Here we summarize the theory part of our previous work 1 . Specifically, we will introduce the scattering description of the honeycomb network, which reproduces the key structure of the tight-binding model in the main text.…”

“…Immediate extensions include the development of related algorithms to search for other lattices and families of lattices known to host flat bands. This includes Tasaki's lattices [58], lattices that are constructed entirely from cliques but are not line graphs [59], and decorated or superlattices built from 1D chains [60,61]. Our search can also be run on a database of monolayer materials.…”
