Adiabatic pumping in the quasi-one-dimensional triangle lattice — Michael Schulze1, •Dario Bercioux1, and Daniel F. Urban2,3 — 1Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, 79104 Freiburg, Germany — 2Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, 79104 Freiburg, Germany — 3Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM, Wöhlerstraße 11, 79108 Freiburg, Germany
We analyze the properties of the quasi-one-dimensional triangle lattice emphasizing the occurrence of flat bands and band
touching via the tuning of the lattice hopping parameters and on-site energies [1]. The spectral properties of the infinite
system will be compared with the transmission through a finite piece of the lattice with attached semi-infinite leads.
Furthermore, we investigate the adiabatic pumping [2] properties of such a system:
depending on the transmission through the lattice, this results in nonzero integer charge transfers or transfers that increase linearly with the lattice size.
