報告摘要：In this talk, I will discuss some recent progress in furthering our fundamental understanding of the physical underpinnings of topological materials in 2D lattice models, based on a unified correspondence principle between a “collective lattice coupling (CLC)” of two quantum states of quasiparticles and band topology. A zero CLC at special high-symmetry k-points corresponds to a Dirac semimetal, and a negative (positive) CLC at these k-points corresponds to a topological (normal) insulator; while a zero CLC at all k-points corresponds to a topological flat band. I will then discuss material realization of flat bands incorporating both orbital and lattice symmetries, such as in organic frameworks of metalorganic, covalent organic and H-bond organic frameworks, as well as inorganic 2D materials. Finally, I will discuss some recent studies of many-body quantum states arising from single and dual yin-yang flat bands, including fractional quantum Hall effect and excitonic Bose-Einstein condensation.
