| Popis: | Flat-bands induced by destructive interference of hoppings in frustrated lattices such as kagome metals, have been extensively studied in recent years since they may lead to strongly correlated phenomena. However, in realistic multiorbital $d$-electron materials, such flat-bands usually appear in small portions of Brillouin zone and are away from Fermi level (dubbed as ``incipient"). Whether such incipient flat-band portions can induce very strong electron correlations is an open question. Here, by density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory calculations on the superconducting kagome CsCr$_3$Sb$_5$ and triangular CrB$_2$, we show that the roles of such incipient flat-bands in driving electron correlations can be significantly amplified by Hund's coupling $J_{\text{H}}$ in a Hund's metal. As a result, even moderately $d$-electron heavy-fermions could be induced by enhancing the orbital differentiation and Kondo-like effect of Hund's metals. This provides a flexible route for generating $d$-electron heavy-fermion, and for controllably inducing electron correlations and magnetic fluctuations suitable for emergence of unconventional superconductivity, in frustrated Hund's metals with portions of incipient flat-bands.
