Visualizing the localized electrons of a kagome flat band

Destructive interference between electron wavefunctions on the two-dimensional kagome lattice induces an electronic flat band, which could host a variety of interesting quantum states. Key to realize these proposals is to demonstrate the real-space localization of kagome flat-band electrons. The ext...
