Flat Bands in Flatlands - LivestreamIn a flat band system, the charge carriers’ energy-momentum relation is very weakly dispersive. The resultant large density of states and the dominance of Coulomb potential energy relative to the kinetic energy often favor the formation of strongly correlated electron states, such as ferromagnetism, nematicity, antiferromagnetism, superconductivity, and charge density ...
New polls show 7 in 10 Americans support legislation to eliminate fossil fuel emissions from the transportation, electricity, buildings, industry, and agricultural sectors by 2050. Then why is nuclear power - our largest and best source of carbon-free electricity in - in decline? In addition to growing concerns about the ...
