//! Kagome lattice physics
//!
//! This module implements specific physics of the kagome antiferromagnet,
//! including the classical ground state (120-degree Néel order), magnon
//! band structure with a characteristic flat band, Dirac magnon physics,
//! and spin liquid diagnostics.
//!
//! # Physics Background
//!
//! The kagome lattice is a 2D network of corner-sharing triangles with
//! 3 sublattices. It is one of the most frustrated 2D lattices, with
//! a coordination number of 4 (compared to 6 for triangular).
//!
//! Key features:
//! - Classical ground state: 120° Néel order (highly degenerate)
//! - Magnon spectrum: 1 flat band + 2 dispersive bands
//! - Dirac magnon at K point of Brillouin zone
//! - Quantum ground state may be a spin liquid (S=1/2 case)
//!
