Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The Dirac bands and flat bands are difficult to coexist because they represent two extreme ends of electronic properties. However, in this paper, we propose a carbon-Kagome-lattice (CKL) family based on first-principles calculations, and the coexistence of Dirac and flat bands are observed in this series of three-dimensional carbon structures. The flat bands are originated from the orbital interactions of the Kagome lattices, while the Dirac bands are related to the carbon zigzag chains. A tight-binding model is used to explain the various band structures in different CKLs. The coexistence of flat and Dirac bands around the Fermi level implies that CKL structures maybe can serve as superconductors. In addition, electronic properties of the thinnest CKL slabs, only consisting of benzene rings, are studied. Flat bands are found in the band spectra of the two-dimensional structures, and split into spin-up and spin-down bands because of strong correlated effect in the case of hole doping.
