Article Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) tessellation of organic species acquired increased interest recently because of their potential applications in physics, biology, and chemistry. Herein, we successfully synthesized the chiral distorted Kagome lattice 3 (333) with bicomponent precursors on Ag(111). Scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional calculation studies reveal that the networks are formed by multiple intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The network structures can be rationally tuned by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of the reaction precursors. Our study provides new strategies to synthesize complex low-dimensional nanostructures on metal surfaces.

Magnetic kagome lattices have attracted much attention because the interplay of band topology with magnetism and electronic correlations give rise to various exotic quantum states. A common structural distortion in the kagome lattice is the breathing mode, which can significantly influence the magnetism and band characteristics. However, the control of breathing mode and the associated topological phenomena remain rarely explored.

The discovery of nanomaterials with unique electronic band structures, such as flat bands, has drawn significant interest for enabling novel physical phenomena and advanced technological applications. Kagome lattices, characterized by corner-sharing triangles, are a notable class of materials featuring the coexistence of flat and Dirac bands. This study investigates a new class of carbon lattices derived from cyclacene molecules (cyc-CL), featuring a distorted hexagonal tiling.

Moiré superlattices in twisted homo-bilayers have revealed exotic electronic states, including unconventional superconductivity and correlated insulating phases. However, their fabrication process often introduces moiré disorders, hindering reproducibility and experimental control. Here, we propose an alternative approach using gradient strain to construct moiré superlattices in untwisted bilayer graphene (gs-BLG).

Intertwined orders appear when multiple orders are strongly interacting, and kagome metals have emerged as new platforms to explore exotic phases. FeGe has been found to develop a charge density wave (CDW) order within magnetic phase, suggesting an intricate interplay of the lattice, charge, and spin degrees of freedom. Recently, postgrowth annealing has been proposed to tune the CDW order from long-range to complete suppression, offering a tuning knob for the CDW order.
