AI总结:

本文在3D kagome金属YbCo$_6$Ge$_6$和MgCo$_6$Ge$_6$中发现两类3D高阶鞍点,其态密度奇点特性显著增强并在费米能级附近诱导出大面积平带,为设计奇特能带结构及探索关联现象铺平道路。

摘要:

鞍点(van Hove奇点)在2D系统中表现出态密度的发散,引发强关联和非常规超导等奇特现象,但在3D系统中鲜少被观察到。在本工作中,我们在新兴3D kagome金属YbCo$_6$Ge$_6$和MgCo$_6$Ge$_6$中发现了两类3D高阶鞍点(HOSPs)。这两种HOSPs的态密度均表现出奇点特性,且与普通鞍点相比显著增强。费米能级附近的HOSP在布里渊区大面积范围内产生平带,可能放大关联效应并促进电子不稳定性。在这两种kagome化合物中,两类HOSPs在元素替换和晶格畸变下表现出截然不同的鲁棒性。我们的工作为设计奇特的能带结构(如鞍点和平带)以及探索钴基kagome材料中的有趣现象铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

The saddle point (van Hove singularity) exhibits a divergent density of states in 2D systems, leading to fascinating phenomena like strong correlations and unconventional superconductivity, yet it is seldom observed in 3D systems. In this work, we have found two types of 3D higher-order saddle points (HOSPs) in emerging 3D kagome metals, YbCo$_6$Ge$_6$ and MgCo$_6$Ge$_6$. Both HOSPs exhibit a singularity in their density of states, which is significantly enhanced compared to the ordinary saddle point. The HOSP near the Fermi energy generates a flat band extending a large area in the Brillouin zone, potentially amplifying the correlation effect and fostering electronic instabilities. Two types of HOSPs exhibit distinct robustness upon element substitution and lattice distortions in these kagome compounds. Our work paves the way for engineering exotic band structures, such as saddle points and flat bands, and exploring interesting phenomena in Co-based kagome materials.
