  • Recent theoretical work has predicted that dislocation patterning induces anisotropic flat bands in the electronic band diagram, which can lead to unusual effects such as unconventional superconductivity. This work develops a reduced-dimensional framework to provide insights into their origin. An effective one-dimensional dislocation potential is constructed by averaging over the spatial distributions of dislocations along a singular direction. The resulting model introduces a parameter that quantifies the strain modulation, thereby providing a transparent approach to analyze the role of dislocation strain in leading to flat band formation.
