Materials with flat bands are considered as ideal platforms to explore strongly correlated physics such as the fractional quantum hall effect, high-temperature superconductivity, and more. In theory, a Kagome lattice with only nearest-neighbor hopping can give rise to a flat band. However, the successful fabrication of Kagome lattices is still very limited. Here, we provide a new design principle to construct the Kagome lattice by trapping atoms into Kagome arrays of potential valleys, which can be realized on a potassium-decorated phosphorus-gold surface alloy. Theoretical calculations show that the flat band is less correlated with the neighboring trivial electronic bands, which can be further isolated and dominate around the Fermi energy with increased Kagome lattice parameters of potassium atoms. Our results provide a new strategy for constructing Kagome lattices, which serve as an ideal platform to study topological and more general flat band phenomena.

Alkali element doping has significant physical implications for two-dimensional materials, primarily by tuning the electronic structure and carrier concentration. It can enhance interface electronic interactions, providing opportunities for effective charge transfer at metal-organic interfaces. In this work, we investigated the effects of gradually increasing the level of K doping on the lattice structure and electronic properties of an organometallic coordinated Kagome lattice on a Ag(111) surface.

ConspectusTriangulene (TRI) and its heterotriangulene (HT) derivatives are planar, triangle-shaped molecules that, via suitable coupling reactions, can form extended organic two-dimensional (2D) crystal (O2DC) structures. While TRI is a diradical, HTs are either closed-shell molecules or monoradicals which can be stabilized in their cationic form.Triangulene-based O2DCs have a characteristic honeycomb-kagome lattice.

Orbitronics and valleytronics, analogous to spintronics, leverage the orbital degree of freedom and the valley degree of freedom of electrons to carry information, promising significant advancements in information processing. In this study, we disentangle the orbital and valley Nernst effect (VNE) in 2D monolayers, based on the global symmetry of the monolayers. We conduct an in-depth analysis of the orbital (valley) Nernst effect in inversion symmetric (asymmetric) monolayers, using an analytical tight binding model.

PbOCu(SeO)(NO)(OH) was synthesized by means of a replacement of (OH) groups for F ions of PbOCu(SeO)(NO)F, showing a transformation of kagomé and breathing kagomé lattices. Such a replacement did not change their intralayer ferromagnetic interactions and interlayer antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions but slightly affected the Néel temperature and critical field, where PbOCu(SeO)(NO)(OH) possesses an AFM ordering at = 29.3 K, and a field-induced metamagnetic transition can occur at 2 K while a critical magnetic field of 1.

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO) emissions has become increasingly urgent for China, particularly in the industrial sector. Striking a balance between a high CO adsorption capacity and long-term stability under practical conditions is crucial for effectively capturing CO from flue gas. In this study, a series of functionalized MFM-136 adsorbents were synthesized in which -NO and -NH groups were grafted onto the kagome lattice of MFM-136.
