What is Quantum Transport in Flat Bands and Super-metallicity about?

Quantum physics in flat-band (FB) systems embodies a variety of exotic phenomenon and even counter intuitive features. The quantum transport in several graphene based compounds that exhibit a flat band and a tunable gap is investigated. Despite the localized nature of the FB states and a zero group velocity, a super-metallic (SM) phase at the FB energy is revealed. The SM phase is robust against the inelastic scattering strength and controlled only by the inter-band transitions between the FB and the dispersive bands. The SM phase appears insensitive and quasi independent of the gap amplitude and nature of the lattice (disordered or nano-patterned). The universal nature of the unconventional FB transport is illustrated with the case of electrons in the Lieb lattice.
