Carbon Kagome nanotubes-quasi-one-dimensional nanostructures with flat bands.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, a number of bulk materials and heterostructures have been explored due their connections with exotic materials phenomena emanating from flat band physics and strong electronic correlation. The possibility of realizing such fascinating material properties in simple realistic nanostructures is particularly exciting, especially as the investigation of exotic states of electronic matter in wire-like geometries is relatively unexplored in the literature. Motivated by these considerations, we introduce in this work carbon Kagome nanotubes (CKNTs)-a new allotrope of carbon formed by rolling up Kagome graphene, and investigate this material using specialized first principles calculations. We identify two principal varieties of CKNTs-armchair and zigzag, and find both varieties to
