Flat bands, strange metals and the Kondo effect

JG Checkelsky, BA Bernevig, P Coleman, Q Si… - Nature Reviews …, 2024 - nature.com
Flat-band materials such as the kagome metals or moiré superlattices are of intense current
interest. Flat bands can result from the electron motion on numerous (special) lattices and …

Orbital selectivity in electron correlations and superconducting pairing of iron-based superconductors

R Yu, H Hu, EM Nica, JX Zhu, Q Si - Frontiers in Physics, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Electron correlations play a central role in iron-based superconductors. In these systems,
multiple Fe 3 d-orbitals are active in the low-energy physics, and they are not all degenerate …

Topological semimetal driven by strong correlations and crystalline symmetry

L Chen, C Setty, H Hu, MG Vergniory, SE Grefe… - Nature Physics, 2022 - nature.com

of many quantum phases. However, whether strong correlations can lead to gapless …

Are heavy fermion strange metals Planckian?

M Taupin, S Paschen - Crystals, 2022 - mdpi.com
Strange metal behavior refers to a linear temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity
that is not due to electron–phonon scattering. It is seen in numerous strongly correlated …

Is the orbital-selective Mott phase stable against interorbital hopping?

FB Kugler, G Kotliar - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
The localization-delocalization transition is at the heart of strong correlation physics.
Recently, there is great interest in multiorbital systems where this transition can be restricted …
