In semiconductor physics, the flat band potential is a critical parameter that influences the properties and behavior of semiconductors in contact with other materials, such as electrolytes or p-n ...

"A flat band in a band structure is a very special type of frequency band where the group velocity remains zero across all wavenumbers," Bilal explains. "In practical terms, this means that sound ...

The team’s results are the first case of a 3D crystal with that property. The flat band term refers to the electron energy bands. Normally, the electrons change energy levels based on momentum.
