Evolution from topological Dirac metal to flat-band-induced antiferromagnet in layered KxNi4S2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)
Condensed matter systems with coexisting Dirac cones and flat bands and a switchable control between them within a single system are desirable but remarkably uncommon. Here, we report a layered quantum material system, KxNi4S2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1), that simultaneously hosts both characteristics without involving typical Kagome/honeycomb lattices. Enabled by a topochemical K-deintercalation process, the Fermi surface can be fine-tuned continuously over a wide range of energies. Consequently, a non-magnetic Dirac-metal state with a topological nontrivial Z2 index of 1;(000), supported by first-principles calculations and high mobility up to 1,471 cm2V−1s−1, is observed on the K-rich x = 1 side, whereas a flat-band-induced antiferromagnetic state with TN up to 10.1 K emerges as the K-content approaches 0. The KxNi4S2 system offers a versatile platform for exploring emerging phenomena and underscores a viable pathway for in situ control of quantum materials dominated by Dirac cones, flat bands, and their interplay.
