Article Abstract
Spin transport properties contributed by the flat bands have become a fascinating issue in device physics. Based on the first-principles method, we investigate the spin polarization and transport properties of covalently functionalized graphene sandwiched between two nonmagnetic electrodes with different contact sites. The analysis of electronic states demonstrates that the two spin-split flat bands originating from covalently functionalized graphene are severely perturbed when the horizontal distance between the Cu tip electrode and the functionalized C atom is less than the length of the C-C bond. The two flat bands degrade into partially polarized midgap states in the case of strong interactions between the Cu tip electrode and functionalized graphene. Spin-dependent transport calculations show that the flat bands may serve efficient transmission in all cases, while a large spin polarization of current of about 90% is achieved when the flat bands are weakly disturbed and a spin-split band gap is preserved. This work reveals the conditions for spin-split flat bands in covalently functionalized graphene in the situation of junctions and their potential prospects in spin-polarized transport in spintronic devices.

The photonic flat band, defined by minimal dispersion and near-zero group velocity, has facilitated significant advances in optical technologies. The practical applications of flat bands, such as enhanced light-matter interactions, require efficient coupling to far-field radiation. However, achieving controlled coupling between flat bands and their corresponding localized modes with far-field radiation remains challenging and elusive.

Graphene layers can assemble in two shifted metastable positions per interface, leading to eight possible structural arrangements in five-layer graphene, six of which correspond to distinct periodic crystals. These polytypes exhibit diverse symmetries, interlayer electronic hybridization, van der Waals adhesion, and optical responses. Arrangements lacking inversion [I] and mirror [M] symmetries host intrinsic polarizations, while those with sufficiently flat electronic bands display orbital magnetization, unconventional superconductivity, and anomalous fractional quantum Hall states.

In this study, we investigate various geometric aspects of a photonic hexagonal lattice made of triple-leg stripline resonators (TSRs) in a circuit QED system. The inherent two-fold degenerate spatial modes of the TSR act as two distinct orbitals in our 2D lattice system. Remarkably the energy spectra of the system exhibits the dispersive quadratic band-touching to the top and bottom flat bands.

Exploring two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structures beyond naturally layered materials is increasingly attracting interest, yet discoveries remain limited. Traditional methods often prioritize thermodynamic and dynamic stability, overlooking many inherently unstable materials such as those deviating from electron counting rules. Here, we challenge these traditional limitations by using the Si-P system as a case study.
