Fig. 6: Calculated electronic band structures around the Fermi energy (EF).

From: Anomalous properties in normal and superconducting states of Sc2Ir4-xSix due to flat band effect driven by spin-orbit coupling

Fig. 6

The total band structure without and with SOC for a Sc2Ir4 and for b Sc2Ir3.5Si0.5. The black ellipses show the change of the electron pockets near the Fermi level. The purple frames represent a slightly flat band between Γ and L points. The green frames highlight the subsequent flat band near the Fermi energy. In the lower right corner is the enlarged view of the flat band. The panel on the right-hand side of (b) shows the partial and total DOS of Sc2Ir3.5Si0.5 with SOC.
