The route to high temperature superconductivity goes through the flat band

Room-temperature superconductors may become reality thanks to the counterintuitive properties of electrons in “flat bands”.
Research & Art
Published:
The crystal is depicted as the ordered array of yellow and blue balls (atoms) in the figure. Electrons with an infinite apparent mass are also called electrons in flat bands. Superconductivity can occur if the electron waves centred around the single atoms spread widely enough to overlap significantly. Then, the electrons hop from one atom to the other through the region of overlap, and the flow of the supercurrent is ensured. Remarkably, a topological invariant of the electron waves, similar to the twis...
