Engineering Phase-Frustration Induced Flat Bands in an Aza-triangulene Covalent Organic Kagome Lattice

Congratulations to Yuyi, Fujia, Weichen, Han & Boyu who had their paper accepted in Nature Materials today!

In this work we demonstrate how molecular engineered orbital-phase frustration within a diatomic Kagome lattice gives rise to non-trivial flat bands near the Fermi level.
