▎ 摘  要

We present a new model to realize artificial 2D lattices with cold atoms investigating the atomic artificial graphene: a 2D confined matter wave is scattered by atoms of a second species trapped around the nodes of a honeycomb optical lattice. The system allows an exact determination of the Green function, hence of the transport properties. The inter-species interaction can be tuned via the interplay between scattering length and confinements. Band structure and density of states of a periodic lattice are derived for different values of the interaction strength. Emergence and features of Dirac cones are pointed out, together with the appearance of multiple gaps and a non-dispersive and isolated flat band. Robustness against finite-size and vacancies effects is numerically investigated. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2014
