Author(s): Henri Menke, Niklas Enderlein, Roland Gillen, Yi-Ting Tseng, Michel Bockstedte, Janina Maultzsch, Giorgio Sangiovanni, and Philipp Hansmann
We propose three transition-metal adatom systems on SiC surfaces as a versatile platform to realize massless Dirac fermions and flat bands with strong electronic correlations. Using density functional theory combined with the constrained random phase approximation and dynamical mean-field theory, we… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 246503] Published Thu Jun 18, 2026
