| contents | Flat electronic bands enhance electron-electron interactions and give rise to correlated states such as unconventional superconductivity or fractional topological phases. However, most current efforts towards flat-band materials discovery rely on density functional theory (DFT) calculations and manual band structures inspection, restraining their applicability to vast unexplored material spaces. While data-driven methods offer a scalable alternative, most existing models either depend on band structure inputs or focus on scalar properties like bandgap, which fail to capture flat-band characteristics. Here, we report a structure-informed framework for the discovery of previously unrecognized flat-band two-dimensional (2D) materials, which combines a data-driven flatness score capturing both band dispersion and density-of-states characteristics with multi-modal learning from atomic structure inputs. The framework successfully identified multiple flat-band candidates, with DFT validation of kagome-based systems confirming both band flatness and topological character. Our results show that the flatness score provides a physically meaningful signal for identifying flat bands from atomic geometry. The framework uncovers multiple new candidates with topologically nontrivial flat bands from unlabeled data, with consistent model performance across structurally diverse materials. By eliminating the need for precomputed electronic structures, our method enables large-scale screening of flat-band materials and expands the search space for discovering strongly correlated quantum materials. |
