Abstract
Motivated by recent research works on the flat-band correlated electron systems, we construct a plaquette-Lieb lattice, which exhibits nearly flat bands close to the Fermi level around half-filling, when the inter-plaquette hopping integral is much smaller than the intra-plaquette one. A detailed comparison study with the well-known checkerboard lattice indicates that there exist significant differences for the pairing property between the two lattices, and the nearly flat bands on the plaquette-Lieb lattice strongly enhance the [Formula: see text]-wave pairing correlation for repulsive on-site Hubbard interaction and [Formula: see text]-wave pairing correlation for attractive on-site Hubbard interaction. Our study not only provides a new lattice with nearly flat bands, but also deepens the understanding of electronic structure on superconductivity.
