Here, we study the Kagome-lattice superconductor CsV3Sb5, in which multiband superconductivity coexists with a charge order that substantially reduces the compound&#39;s space group symmetries. Through a combination of thermodynamic as well as electrical and thermal transport measurements, we uncover two superconducting regimes with distinct transport and thermodynamic characteristics, while finding no evidence for a phase transition separating them. Thermodynamic measurements reveal substantial quasiparticle weight in a high-temperature regime. At lower temperatures, this weight is removed via the formation of a second gap. The two regimes are sharply distinguished by a pronounced enhancement of the upper critical field at low temperatures and by a switch in the anisotropy of the longitudinal thermal conductivity as a function of in-plane magnetic field orientation. We argue that the band with a gap opening at lower temperatures continues to host low-energy quasiparticles, possibly due to a nodal structure of the gap. Taken together, our results present evidence for band-selective superconductivity with remarkable decoupling of the (two) superconducting gaps. The commonly employed multiband scenario, whereby superconductivity emerges in a primary band and is then induced in other bands appears to fail in this unconventional kagome superconductor. Instead, band-selective superconducting pairing is a paradigm that seems to unify seemingly contradicting results in this intensely studied family of materials and beyond. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2411.15333v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2411.15333v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 November, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Nature Physics (2024); in press</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.03664">arXiv:2411.03664</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.03664">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2411.03664">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A Predictive First-Principles Framework of Chiral Charge Density Waves </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shao%2C+S">Sen Shao</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chiu%2C+W">Wei-Chi Chiu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hou%2C+T">Tao Hou</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+N">Naizhou Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Belopolski%2C+I">Ilya Belopolski</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhao%2C+Y">Yilin Zhao</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ni%2C+J">Jinyang Ni</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+Q">Qi Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Li%2C+Y">Yongkai Li</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Liu%2C+J">Jinjin Liu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yahyavi%2C+M">Mohammad Yahyavi</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jin%2C+Y">Yuanjun Jin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Feng%2C+Q">Qiange Feng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cui%2C+P">Peiyuan Cui</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+C">Cheng-Long Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yao%2C+Y">Yugui Yao</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+Z">Zhiwei Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Xu%2C+S">Su-Yang Xu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ma%2C+Q">Qiong Ma</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Gao%2C+W">Wei-bo Gao</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Bansil%2C+A">Arun Bansil</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hasan%2C+M+Z">M.

Chiral charge density waves (CDWs), where chirality arises from correlated charge orders, are attracting intense interest due to their exotic transport and optical properties. However, a general framework for predicting chiral CDW materials is lacking, primarily because the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we address this challenge by developing the first comprehensive predictive framework, systematically identifying chiral CDW materials via first-principles calculations. The key lies in the previously overlooked phase difference of the CDW Q-vectors between layers, which is linked to opposite collective atomic displacements across different layers. This phase difference induces a spiral arrangement of the Q-vectors, ultimately giving rise to a chiral structure in real space. We validate our framework by applying it to the kagome lattice AV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ (A = K, Rb, Cs), successfully predicting emergent structural chirality. To demonstrate the generality of our approach, we extend it to predict chiral CDWs in the triangular-lattice NbSe$_{2}$. Beyond material predictions, our theory uncovers a universal and unprecedented Hall effect in chiral CDW materials, occurring without external magnetic fields or intrinsic magnetization. Our experiments on CsV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ confirm this prediction, observing a unique signature where the Hall conductivity&#39;s sign reverses when the input current is reversed, a phenomenon distinct from known Hall effects. Our findings elucidate the mechanisms behind chiral CDWs and open new avenues for discovering materials with unconventional quantum properties, with potential applications in next-generation electronic and spintronic devices. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2411.03664v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2411.03664v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 5 November, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.19636">arXiv:2410.19636</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.19636">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Pomeranchuk instability of a topological crystal </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Muhammad%2C+Z">Zahir Muhammad</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Islam%2C+R">Rajibul Islam</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cheng%2C+Z">Zi-Jia Cheng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jiang%2C+Y">Yu-Xiao Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Litskevich%2C+M">Maksim Litskevich</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cochran%2C+T+A">Tyler A.

In metals, this is connected to a well-known instability of the Fermi liquid-the Pomeranchuk instability. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we identified this instability in a highly unusual setting: on the surface of an elemental topological metal, arsenic. By directly visualizing the Fermi surface of the surface state via scanning tunneling spectroscopy and photoemission spectroscopy, we find that the Fermi surface gets deformed and becomes elliptical at the energies where the nematic state is present. Known instances of nematic instability typically need van-Hove singularities or multi-orbital physics as drivers. In contrast, the surface states of arsenic are essentially indistinguishable from well-confined isotropic Rashba bands near the Fermi level, rendering our finding the first realization of Pomeranchuk instability of the topological surface state. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2410.19636v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2410.19636v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 25 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.08394">arXiv:2408.08394</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.08394">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-51255-3">10.1038/s41467-024-51255-3 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A topological Hund nodal line antiferromagnet </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yang%2C+X+P">Xian P.

In this study, through state-of-the-art angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory calculations, we visualize a fourfold degenerate Dirac nodal line at the boundary of the bulk Brillouin zone in the antiferromagnet YMn2Ge2. We further demonstrate that this gapless, antiferromagnetic Dirac nodal line is enforced by the combination of magnetism, space-time inversion symmetry and nonsymmorphic lattice symmetry. The corresponding drumhead surface states traverse the whole surface Brillouin zone. YMn2Ge2 thus serves as a platform to exhibit the interplay of multiple degenerate nodal physics and antiferromagnetism. Interestingly, the magnetic nodal line displays a d-orbital dependent renormalization along its trajectory in momentum space, thereby manifesting Hund coupling. Our findings offer insights into the effect of electronic correlations on magnetic Dirac nodal lines, leading to an antiferromagnetic Hund nodal line. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2408.08394v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2408.08394v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 15 August, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nature Communications volume 15, Article number: 7052 (2024) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.01028">arXiv:2408.01028</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.01028">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Hardware Architecture">cs.AR</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Harnessing Ferro-Valleytricity in Penta-Layer Rhombohedral Graphene for Memory and Compute </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Islam%2C+M+M">Md Mazharul Islam</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Alam%2C+S">Shamiul Alam</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Udoy%2C+M+R+I">Md Rahatul Islam Udoy</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hamilton%2C+K+E">Kathleen E Hamilton</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aziz%2C+A">Ahmedullah Aziz</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2408.01028v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Two-dimensional materials with multiple degrees of freedom, including spin, valleys, and orbitals, open up an exciting avenue for engineering multifunctional devices.

Beyond spintronics, these degrees of freedom can lead to novel quantum effects such as valley-dependent Hall effects and orbital magnetism, which could revolutionize next-generation electronics. However, achieving independent control over valley polarization and orbital magnetism has been a challenge due to the need for large electric fields. A recent breakthrough involving penta-layer rhombohedral graphene has demonstrated the ability to individually manipulate anomalous Hall signals and orbital magnetic hysteresis, forming what is known as a valley-magnetic quartet. Here, we leverage the electrically tunable Ferro-valleytricity of penta-layer rhombohedral graphene to develop non-volatile memory and in-memory computation applications. We propose an architecture for a dense, scalable, and selector-less non-volatile memory array that harnesses the electrically tunable ferro-valleytricity. In our designed array architecture, non-destructive read and write operations are conducted by sensing the valley state through two different pairs of terminals, allowing for independent optimization of read/write peripheral circuits. The power consumption of our PRG-based array is remarkably low, with only ~ 6 nW required per write operation and ~ 2.3 nW per read operation per cell. This consumption is orders of magnitude lower than that of the majority of state-of-the-art cryogenic memories. Additionally, we engineer in-memory computation by implementing majority logic operations within our proposed non-volatile memory array without modifying the peripheral circuitry. Our framework presents a promising pathway toward achieving ultra-dense cryogenic memory and in-memory computation capabilities. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2408.01028v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2408.01028v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 2 August, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.13702">arXiv:2406.13702</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.13702">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-024-01914-z">10.1038/s41563-024-01914-z <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Van-Hove annihilation and nematic instability on a Kagome lattice </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jiang%2C+Y">Yu-Xiao Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shao%2C+S">Sen Shao</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Xia%2C+W">Wei Xia</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Denner%2C+M+M">M.

Here we report the observation of an intra-unit-cell nematic order and signatures of Pomeranchuk instability in the Kagome metal ScV6Sn6. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we reveal a stripe-like nematic order breaking the crystal rotational symmetry within the Kagome lattice itself. Moreover, we identify a set of van Hove singularities adhering to the Kagome layer electrons, which appear along one direction of the Brillouin zone while being annihilated along other high-symmetry directions, revealing a rotational symmetry breaking. Via detailed spectroscopic maps, we further observe an elliptical deformation of Fermi surface, which provides direct evidence for an electronically mediated nematic order. Our work not only bridges the gap between electronic nematicity and Kagome physics, but also sheds light on the potential mechanism for realizing symmetry-broken phases in correlated electron systems. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2406.13702v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2406.13702v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 17 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 19 June, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">19 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nat.

The analytical architecture-property relationships are derived for both synclastic and anticlastic curvatures. The results show that, as the scales engage, both synclastic and anticlastic deformations show non-linear scale contact kinematics and cross-curvature sensitivity of moments resulting in strong curvature-dependent elastic nonlinearity and emergent anisotropy. The anisotropy of bending rigidities and their evolution with curvature are affected by both the direction and magnitude of bending as well as scale geometry parameters, and their distribution on the substrate. Like earlier beam-like substrates, kinematic locked states were found to occur; however, their existence and evolution are also strongly determined by scale geometry and imposed cross-curvatures. This validated model helps us to quantify bending response, locking behavior, and their geometric dependence, paving the way for a deeper understanding of the nature of nonlinearity and anisotropy of these systems. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2403.08026v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2403.08026v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 12 March, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.02341">arXiv:2402.02341</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.02341">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2402.02341">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Untangle charge-order dependent bulk states from surface effects in a topological kagome metal ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cheng%2C+Z">Zi-Jia Cheng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shao%2C+S">Sen Shao</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Kim%2C+B">Byunghoon Kim</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cochran%2C+T+A">Tyler A.

The recent discovery of the novel kagome CDW compound ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ has spurred significant interest. However, understanding the interplay between CDW and the bulk electronic structure has been obscured by a profusion of surface states and terminations in this quantum material. Here, we employ photoemission spectroscopy and potassium dosing to elucidate the complete bulk band structure of ScV$_6$Sn$_6$, revealing multiple van Hove singularities near the Fermi level. We surprisingly discover a robust spin-polarized topological Dirac surface resonance state at the M point within the two-fold van Hove singularities. Assisted by the first-principle calculations, the temperature dependence of the $k_z$- resolved ARPES spectrum provides unequivocal evidence for the proposed $\sqrt{3}$$\times$$\sqrt{3}$$\times3$ charge order over other candidates. Our work not only enhances the understanding of the CDW-dependent bulk and surface states in ScV$_6$Sn$_6$ but also establishes an essential foundation for potential manipulation of the CDW order in kagome materials. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2402.02341v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2402.02341v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 3 February, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">To appear in PRB</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.14547">arXiv:2401.14547</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.14547">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Other Condensed Matter">cond-mat.other</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Discovery of a Topological Charge Density Wave </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Litskevich%2C+M">Maksim Litskevich</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+S">Songbo Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cheng%2C+Z">Zi-Jia Cheng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Guin%2C+S+N">Satya N.

Despite such ubiquity, there has been a lack of direct experimental study on boundary states that can uniquely stem from the charge order. Here, using scanning tunneling microscopy, we directly visualize the bulk and boundary phenomenology of CDW in a topological material, Ta2Se8I. Below the transition temperature (TCDW = 260 K), tunneling spectra on an atomically resolved lattice reveal a large insulating gap in the bulk and on the surface, exceeding 500 meV, surpassing predictions from standard weakly-coupled mean-field theory. Spectroscopic imaging confirms the presence of CDW, with LDOS maxima at the conduction band corresponding to the LDOS minima at the valence band, thus revealing a 蟺 phase difference in the respective CDW order. Concomitantly, at a monolayer step edge, we detect an in-gap boundary mode with modulations along the edge that match the CDW wavevector along the edge. Intriguingly, the phase of the edge state modulation shifts by 蟺 within the charge order gap, connecting the fully gapped bulk (and surface) conduction and valence bands via a smooth energy-phase relation. This bears similarity to the topological spectral flow of edge modes, where the boundary modes bridge the gapped bulk modes in energy and momentum magnitude but in Ta2Se8I, the connectivity distinctly occurs in energy and momentum phase. Notably, our temperature-dependent measurements indicate a vanishing of the insulating gap and the in-gap edge state above TCDW, suggesting their direct relation to CDW. The theoretical analysis also indicates that the observed boundary mode is topological and linked to CDW. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.14547v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.14547v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 25 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Nature Physics (2024); in press</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.13124">arXiv:2401.13124</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.13124">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Tunable Topological Phase Transitions in a Piezoelectric Janus Monolayer </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Tanisha%2C+T+T">Tanshia Tahreen Tanisha</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md.

The pursuit of a tunable QSH state stands as a pivotal objective in the development of QSH-based topological devices. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations to identify three strain-tunable QSH insulators based on monolayer MAlGaTe4 (where M represents Mg, Ca, or Sr). These monolayers exhibit dynamic stability, with no imaginary modes detected in their phonon dispersion. Additionally, they possess piezoelectric properties, rendering them amenable to strain-induced tuning. While MgAlGaTe4 is a normal insulator under zero strain, it transitions into the QSH phase when subjected to external strain. Conversely, CaAlGaTe4 and SrAlGaTe4 already exhibit the QSH phase at zero strain. Intriguingly, upon the application of biaxial strain, these two compounds undergo phase transitions, encompassing metallic (M), normal/trivial insulator (NI), and topological insulator (TI) phases, thereby illustrating their strain-tunable electronic and topological properties. (Ca, Sr)AlGaTe4, in particular, undergo M-TI/TI-M transitions under applied strain, while MgAlGaTe4 additionally experiences an M-NI/NI-M transition, signifying it as a material featuring a metal-insulator transition (MIT). Remarkably, the observation of metal-trivial insulator-topological insulator transitions in MgAlGaTe4 introduces it as a unique material platform in which both MIT and topological phase transitions can be controlled through the same physical parameter. Our study thus introduces a novel material platform distinguished by highly strain-tunable electronic and topological properties, offering promising prospects for the development of next-generation, low-power topological devices. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.13124v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.13124v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">37 pages, 13 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.04845">arXiv:2401.04845</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.04845">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Other Condensed Matter">cond-mat.other</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07203-8">10.1038/s41586-024-07203-8 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Discovery of a hybrid topological quantum state in an elemental solid </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Schindler%2C+F">Frank Schindler</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Islam%2C+R">Rajibul Islam</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Muhammad%2C+Z">Zahir Muhammad</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jiang%2C+Y">Yu-Xiao Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cheng%2C+Z">Zi-Jia Cheng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+Q">Qi Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hou%2C+T">Tao Hou</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chen%2C+H">Hongyu Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Litskevich%2C+M">Maksim Litskevich</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Casas%2C+B">Brian Casas</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cochran%2C+T+A">Tyler A.

Their nexus yields three significant research directions: competition between distinct interactions, as in the multiple intertwined phases, interplay between interactions and topology that drives the phenomena in twisted layered materials and topological magnets, and the coalescence of multiple topological orders to generate distinct novel phases. The first two examples have grown into major areas of research, while the last example remains mostly untouched, mainly because of the lack of a material platform for experimental studies. Here, using tunneling microscopy, photoemission spectroscopy, and theoretical analysis, we unveil a &#34;hybrid&#34; and yet novel topological phase of matter in the simple elemental solid arsenic. Through a unique bulk-surface-edge correspondence, we uncover that arsenic features a conjoined strong and higher-order topology, stabilizing a hybrid topological phase. While momentum-space spectroscopy measurements show signs of topological surface states, real-space microscopy measurements unravel a unique geometry of topology-induced step edge conduction channels revealed on various forms of natural nanostructures on the surface. Using theoretical models, we show that the existence of gapless step edge states in arsenic relies on the simultaneous presence of both a nontrivial strong Z2 invariant and a nontrivial higher-order topological invariant, providing experimental evidence for hybrid topology and its realization in a single crystal. Our discovery highlights pathways to explore the interplay of different kinds of band topology and harness the associated topological conduction channels in future engineered quantum or nano-devices. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.04845v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.04845v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 9 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Nature (2024); in press</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nature 628, 527 (2024) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.15862">arXiv:2312.15862</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.15862">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Discovery of a topological exciton insulator with tunable momentum order </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cochran%2C+T+A">Tyler A.

Our spectroscopy unveils the development of an insulating gap stemming from the condensation of these excitons, thus giving rise to a highly sought-after correlated quantum phase known as the excitonic insulator. Remarkably, our scanning tunneling microscopy measurements reveal the presence of gapless boundary modes in the excitonic insulator state. Their magnetic field response and our theoretical calculations suggest a topological origin of these modes, rendering Ta2Pd3Te5 as the first experimentally identified topological excitonic insulator in a three-dimensional material not masked by any structural phase transition. Furthermore, our study uncovers a secondary excitonic instability below T=5 K, which differs from the primary one in having finite momentum. We observe unprecedented tunability of its wavevector by an external magnetic field. These findings unlock a frontier in the study of novel correlated topological phases of matter and their tunability. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2312.15862v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2312.15862v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 25 December, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Report number:</span> Journal submission on 7th December 23 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.09487">arXiv:2312.09487</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.09487">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Transport response of topological hinge modes in $伪$-Bi$_4$Br$_4$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+Q">Qi Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+Z">Zhiwei Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Dhale%2C+N">Nikhil Dhale</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Liu%2C+W">Wenhao Liu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Litskevich%2C+M">Maksim Litskevich</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Casas%2C+B">Brian Casas</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shumiya%2C+N">Nana Shumiya</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cochran%2C+T+A">Tyler A.

While the transport response of the surface states has been extensively studied, the response of the topological hinge modes remains elusive. Here, we investigate a layered topological insulator $伪$-Bi$_4$Br$_4$, and provide the first evidence for quantum transport in gapless topological hinge states existing within the insulating bulk and surface energy gaps. Our magnetoresistance measurements reveal pronounced h/e periodic (where h denotes Planck&#39;s constant and e represents the electron charge) Aharonov-Bohm oscillation. The observed periodicity, which directly reflects the enclosed area of phase-coherent electron propagation, matches the area enclosed by the sample hinges, providing compelling evidence for the quantum interference of electrons circumnavigating around the hinges. Notably, the h/e oscillations evolve as a function of magnetic field orientation, following the interference paths along the hinge modes that are allowed by topology and symmetry, and in agreement with the locations of the hinge modes according to our scanning tunneling microscopy images. Remarkably, this demonstration of quantum transport in a topological insulator can be achieved using a flake geometry and we show that it remains robust even at elevated temperatures. Our findings collectively reveal the quantum transport response of topological hinge modes with both topological nature and quantum coherence, which can be directly applied to the development of efficient quantum electronic devices. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2312.09487v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2312.09487v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 February, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 14 December, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Nature Physics, in press (2023)</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.17529">arXiv:2311.17529</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.17529">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Fiber-based Ratiometric Optical Thermometry with Silicon-Vacancy in Microdiamonds </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shakhawath Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Bacaoco%2C+M">Miguel Bacaoco</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Mai%2C+T+N+A">Thi Ngoc Anh Mai</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ponchon%2C+G">Guillaume Ponchon</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chen%2C+C">Chaohao Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ding%2C+L">Lei Ding</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chen%2C+Y">Yongliang Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ekimov%2C+E">Evgeny Ekimov</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Xu%2C+H">Helen Xu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Solntsev%2C+A+S">Alexander S.

In this work, we demonstrate a novel real-time ratiometric fiber optic thermometry technique based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) diamond that shows the highest temperature resolution (22.91 KHz^(-1/2) Wcm^(-2)) and spatial resolution (~7.5 um) among all-optical fiber-based thermosensors reported to date. Instead of analyzing the spectral features of temperature-dependent SiV signal, coming from SiV micro-diamond fixed on the fiber tip, an alternative parallel detection method based on filtering optics and photon counters is proposed to read out the sample temperature in real-time. The signal collection efficiency of the fiber is also investigated numerically with semi-analytic ray-optical analysis and then compared with our experimental study. We finally demonstrate the performance of the thermosensor by monitoring the temperature at distinct locations in a lab-built graphite-based microheater device. Our work introduces a reconfigurable method for temperature monitoring in microelectronic, microfluidic devices, or biological environments and unlocks a new direction for fiber-based all-optical thermometry research. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2311.17529v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2311.17529v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 29 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.16746">arXiv:2311.16746</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.16746">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Cryogenic Thermal Shock Effects on Optical Properties of Quantum Emitters in Hexagonal Boron Nitride </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Mai%2C+T+N+A">Thi Ngoc Anh Mai</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ali%2C+S">Sajid Ali</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shakhawath Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chen%2C+C">Chaohao Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ding%2C+L">Lei Ding</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chen%2C+Y">Yongliang Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Solntsev%2C+A+S">Alexander S.

Among various types of solid-state emitters discovered to date, color centers in hexagonal boron nitride have garnered tremendous traction in recent years thanks to their environmental robustness, high brightness and room-temperature operation. Most recently, these quantum emitters have been employed for satellite-based quantum key distribution. One of the most important requirements to qualify these emitters for space-based applications is their optical stability against cryogenic thermal shock. Such understanding has, however, remained elusive to date. Here, we report on the effects caused by such thermal shock which induces random, irreversible changes in the spectral characteristics of the quantum emitters. By employing a combination of structural characterizations and density functional calculations, we attribute the observed changes to lattice strains caused by the cryogenic temperature shock. Our study shed light on the stability of the quantum emitters under extreme conditions, similar to those countered in outer space. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2311.16746v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2311.16746v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 28 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.18907">arXiv:2310.18907</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.18907">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2310.18907">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Topological, or Non-topological?

A major bottleneck in this field is the computational resources and time complexity related to finding new materials from ab initio calculations. In this work, an effective and robust deep learning-based model is proposed by incorporating persistent homology and graph neural network which offers an accuracy of 91.4% and an F1 score of 88.5% in classifying topological vs. non-topological materials, outperforming the other state-of-the-art classifier models. The incorporation of the graph neural network encodes the underlying relation between the atoms into the model based on their own crystalline structures and thus proved to be an effective method to represent and process non-euclidean data like molecules with a relatively shallow network. The persistent homology pipeline in the suggested neural network is capable of integrating the atom-specific topological information into the deep learning model, increasing robustness, and gain in performance. It is believed that the presented work will be an efficacious tool for predicting the topological class and therefore enable the high-throughput search for novel materials in this field. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2310.18907v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2310.18907v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 29 October, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">13 pages, 8 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.15754">arXiv:2308.15754</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.15754">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Neural and Evolutionary Computing">cs.NE</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A Deep Dive into the Design Space of a Dynamically Reconfigurable Cryogenic Spiking Neuron </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Islam%2C+M+M">Md Mazharul Islam</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Alam%2C+S">Shamiul Alam</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Schuman%2C+C+D">Catherine D Schuman</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aziz%2C+A">Ahmedullah Aziz</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2308.15754v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Spiking neural network offers the most bio-realistic approach to mimic the parallelism and compactness of the human brain.

A spiking neuron is the central component of an SNN which generates information-encoded spikes. We present a comprehensive design space analysis of the superconducting memristor (SM)-based electrically reconfigurable cryogenic neuron. A superconducting nanowire (SNW) connected in parallel with an SM function as a dual-frequency oscillator and two of these oscillators can be coupled to design a dynamically tunable spiking neuron. The same neuron topology was previously proposed where a fixed resistance was used in parallel with the SNW. Replacing the fixed resistance with the SM provides an additional tuning knob with four distinct combinations of SM resistances, which improves the reconfigurability by up to ~70%. Utilizing an external bias current (Ibias), the spike frequency can be modulated up to ~3.5 times. Two distinct spike amplitudes (~1V and ~1.8 V) are also achieved. Here, we perform a systematic sensitivity analysis and show that the reconfigurability can be further tuned by choosing a higher input current strength. By performing a 500-point Monte Carlo variation analysis, we find that the spike amplitude is more variation robust than spike frequency and the variation robustness can be further improved by choosing a higher Ibias. Our study provides valuable insights for further exploration of materials and circuit level modification of the neuron that will be useful for system-level incorporation of the neuron circuit <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2308.15754v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2308.15754v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 30 August, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.10400">arXiv:2306.10400</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.10400">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Fabrication and Characterization of Graphene-Barium Titanate-Graphene layered capacitors by spin coating at low processing temperatures </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Habib%2C+M+S">M.

Then thin films from both synthesis routes were characterized by Ultraviolet-Visible-Near Infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) Spectroscopy, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, and Four-point collinear probe; all carried out at room temperature. Our studies revealed that the PCD synthesis process did not produce the BT phase even under the 900^0C air-annealing condition. In contrast, a homogeneous BT thin film has been formed from the BMD-BT nanopowder. The optical band gap of BMD-BT thin films was found in the 3.10 - 3.28 eV range. Finally, a Graphene-Barium Titanate-Graphene (G-BT-G) structure was fabricated on a SS substrate by spin coating at processing temperatures below 100^0C and characterized by two different pieces of equipment: a Potentiostat/Galvanostat (PG-STAT) and a Precision Impedance Analyzer (PIA). The G-BT-G structure exhibited a capacitance of 8 nF and 7.15 nF, a highest dielectric constant of 800 and 790, and a low dielectric loss of 4.5 and 5, investigated by PG-STAT and PIA equipment, respectively. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2306.10400v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2306.10400v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 17 June, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">25 pages, 11 Figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.02547">arXiv:2304.02547</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.02547">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2304.02547">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Soft Condensed Matter">cond-mat.soft</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106505">10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106505 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Anisotropic plates with architected tendon network </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shahjahan Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ebrahimi%2C+H">Hossein Ebrahimi</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ghosh%2C+R">Ranajay Ghosh</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2304.02547v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> We synthesize geometrically tailorable anisotropic plates by combining button shaped fish-scale like features on soft substrates, then lacing them with high-stiffness strings.

This creates a new type of biomimetic architectured structure with multiple broken symmetries. First, the tendons and scales together break the symmetry of the bending response between the concave and convex curvature. Next, the weave pattern of the tendons further breaks symmetry along the two directors of plates. The anisotropy is clearly evident in 3-point bending experiments. Motivated by these experiments and the need for design, we formulate the analytical energy-based model to quantify the anisotropic elasticity and tailorable Poisson&#39;s ratio. The derived architecture-property relationships can be used to design architected tendon plates with desirable properties. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2304.02547v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2304.02547v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 5 April, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Short communication, 4 figures, architecture-property correlations</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Report number:</span> Md Shahjahan Hossain, Hossein Ebrahimi, Ranajay Ghosh, Anisotropic plates with architected tendon network, Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2024, 106505, ISSN 1751-6161, </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2024, 106505, ISSN 1751-6161, </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.11268">arXiv:2303.11268</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.11268">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2303.11268">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.126301">10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.126301 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Valley-tunable, even-denominator fractional quantum Hall state in the lowest Landau level of an anisotropic system </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md.

We report here the observation of a FQHS at $谓=1/2$ in a two-dimensional electron system of exceptionally high quality, confined to a wide AlAs quantum well, where the electrons can occupy multiple conduction-band valleys with an anisotropic effective mass. The anisotropy and multi-valley degree of freedom offer an unprecedented tunability of the $谓=1/2$ FQHS as we can control both the valley occupancy via the application of in-plane strain, and the ratio between the strengths of the short- and long-range Coulomb interaction by tilting the sample in the magnetic field to change the electron charge distribution. Thanks to this tunability, we observe phase transitions from a compressible Fermi liquid to an incompressible FQHS and then to an insulating phase as a function of tilt angle. We find that this evolution and the energy gap of the $谓=1/2$ FQHS depend strongly on valley occupancy. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.11268v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2303.11268v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 March, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

However, the role of the itinerant magnetic order, which is driven by the conducting (c) electrons, has been largely uncharted in the context of heavy-fermion systems due to the scarcity of material candidates. Here we demonstrate the coexistence of the coherent Kondo screening and d-orbital ferromagnetism in material system La$_{1-x}$Ce$_x$Co$_2$As$_2$, through comprehensive thermodynamic and electrical transport measurements. Additionally, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we further observe the f-orbit-dominated bands near the Fermi level ($E_f$) and signatures of the f-c hybridization below the magnetic transition temperature, providing strong evidence of Kondo lattice state in the presence of ferromagnetic order. Remarkably, by changing the ratio of Ce/La, we observe a substantial enhancement of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in the Kondo lattice regime. The value of the Hall conductivity quantitatively matches with the first-principle calculation that optimized with our ARPES results and can be attributed to the large Berry curvature (BC) density engendered by the topological nodal rings composed of the Ce-4f and Co-3d orbitals at $E_f$. Our findings point to the realization of a new platform for exploring correlation-driven topological responses in a novel Kondo lattice environment. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2302.12113v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2302.12113v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 February, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">4 Figs and 22 pages.

In particular high supercurrent density can lead to more efficient and compact power transmission lines, high-field magnets, as well as high-performance nanoscale radiation detectors and superconducting spintronics. Here, we report the discovery of an unprecedentedly high superconducting critical current density (17 MA/cm2 at 0 T and 7 MA/cm2 at 8 T) in 1T&#39;-WS2, exceeding those of all reported two-dimensional superconductors to date. 1T&#39;-WS2 features a strongly anisotropic (both in- and out-of-plane) superconducting state that violates the Pauli paramagnetic limit signaling the presence of unconventional superconductivity. Spectroscopic imaging of the vortices further substantiates the anisotropic nature of the superconducting state. More intriguingly, the normal state of 1T&#39;-WS2 carries topological properties. The band structure obtained via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations points to a Z2 topological invariant. The concomitance of topology and superconductivity in 1T&#39;-WS2 establishes it as a topological superconductor candidate, which is promising for the development of quantum computing technology. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2301.11425v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2301.11425v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 January, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.12726">arXiv:2212.12726</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.12726">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Imaging real-space flat band localization in kagome magnet FeSn </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Multer%2C+D">Daniel Multer</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md.

Here, we report imaging of the kagome flat band localization in real-space using scanning tunneling microscopy. We identify both the Fe3Sn kagome lattice layer and the Sn2 honeycomb layer with atomic resolution in kagome antiferromagnet FeSn. On the Fe3Sn lattice, at the flat band energy determined by the angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, tunneling spectroscopy detects an unusual state localized uniquely at the Fe kagome lattice network. We further show that the vectorial in-plane magnetic field manipulates the spatial anisotropy of the localization state within each kagome unit cell. Our results are consistent with the real-space flat band localization in the magnetic kagome lattice. We further discuss the magnetic tuning of flat band localization under the spin-orbit coupled magnetic kagome lattice model. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2212.12726v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2212.12726v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 December, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">To appear in Communications Materials</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.09220">arXiv:2212.09220</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.09220">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mtcomm.2022.105147">10.1016/j.mtcomm.2022.105147 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> High pressure mediated physical properties of Hf2AB (A = Pb, Bi) via DFT calculations </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">M.

The lattice constants were found to be decreased with increasing pressure wherein the lattice constants at 0 GPa agree well with the reported values. The stability (mechanical and dynamical) of the titled compounds at different pressures was checked. The mechanical behavior was disclosed considering the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Youngs modulus, Pugh ratio, Poissons ratio, and hardness parameter at different pressures. Pugh and Poisson ratios were used to assess the brittleness and ductility of the titled borides. The anisotropic nature of mechanical properties was studied by calculating different indices and plotting 2D and 3D projections of the elastic moduli. The electronic properties were revealed by calculating the band structure, density of states, and charge density mapping at different pressures, wherein the anisotropic nature of the electronic conductivity was noted. We studied the Debye temperature, minimum thermal conductivity, Gruneisen parameter, and melting temperature of the titled borides at different pressures; the results revealed the improvement of the mentioned properties with rising pressure. The important optical constants to disclose the possible relevance in application purposes were investigated; a little pressure effect was noted. The thermal properties suggest that the titled borides could be used as thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials while the reflectivity spectra revealed their suitability to be used as cover materials for protection from solar heating. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2212.09220v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2212.09220v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 December, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Materials Today Communications Volume 34, March 2023, 105147 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09910">arXiv:2211.09910</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.09910">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2211.09910">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.106.L201303">10.1103/PhysRevB.106.L201303 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Fractional quantum Hall valley ferromagnetism in the extreme quantum limit </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md.

Here we report magneto-transport experiments demonstrating how the valley degree of freedom impacts the fractional quantum states (FQHSs), and the related magnetic-flux-electron composite fermions (CFs), at very high magnetic fields in the extreme quantum limit when only the lowest Landau level is occupied. Unlike in other multivalley two-dimensional electron systems such as Si or monolayer graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides, in our AlAs sample we can continuously tune the valley polarization via the application of in-situ strain. We find that the FQHSs remain exceptionally strong even as they make valley polarization transitions, revealing a surprisingly robust ferromagnetism of the FQHSs and the underlying CFs. Our observation implies that the CFs are strongly interacting in our system. We are also able to obtain a phase diagram for the FQHS and CF valley polarization in the extreme quantum limit as we monitor transitions of the FHQSs with different valley polarizations. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2211.09910v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2211.09910v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 17 November, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

Here we present polarizing optical microscopy studies and theoretical considerations of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal droplets coexisting with the isotropic melt. We find that the droplets have flat pancake-like shapes that are thinner than the sample thickness as long as there is a room to increase the lateral droplet size. In the center of the droplets a wing shaped defect with low birefringence is present that moves perpendicular to a weak in-plane electric field, and then extends and splits in two at higher fields. Parallel to the defect motion and extension, the entire droplet drifts along the electric field with speed that is independent of the size of the droplet and is proportional to the amplitude of the electric field. After the field is increased above 1V/mm the entire droplet gets deformed and oscillates with the field. These observations led us to determine the polarization field and revealed the presence of a pair of positive and negative bound electric charge due to divergences of polarization around the defect volume. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2209.09363v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2209.09363v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 19 September, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Soft Matter, 2023, 19, 347 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.10291">arXiv:2207.10291</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.10291">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.106.035151">10.1103/PhysRevB.106.035151 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Evidence for electronic signature of magnetic transition in topological magnet HoSbTe </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shumiya%2C+N">Nana Shumiya</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chang%2C+G">Guoqing Chang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yang%2C+M">Meng Yang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Mardanya%2C+S">Sougata Mardanya</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chang%2C+T">Tay-Rong Chang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Lin%2C+H">Hsin Lin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jiang%2C+Y">Yu-Xiao Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cochran%2C+T+A">Tyler A.

To study these systems and their physics, people have proposed a variety of magnetic topological insulator systems, including HoSbTe, an antiferromagnetic weak topological insulator candidate. In this work, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to probe the electronic structure of HoSbTe with antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic orders that are tuned by applying an external magnetic field. Although around the Fermi energy, we find minor differences between the quasi-particle interferences under the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders, deep inside the valance region, a new quasi-particle interference signal emerges with ferromagnetism. This observation is consistent with our first-principles calculations indicating the magnetism-driven transition of the electronic states in this spin-orbit coupled topological magnet. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2207.10291v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2207.10291v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 21 July, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">13 pages, 7 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.06618">arXiv:2207.06618</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.06618">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2207.06618">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.036601">10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.036601 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Anisotropic, two-dimensional, disordered Wigner solid </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md.

An exciting example is an anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) Wigner solid (WS), where electrons form an ordered array with an anisotropic lattice structure. Such a state has eluded experiments up to now as its realization is extremely demanding: First, a WS entails very low densities where the Coulomb interaction dominates over the kinetic (Fermi) energy. Attaining such low densities while keeping the disorder low is very challenging. Second, the low-density requirement has to be fulfilled in a material that hosts an anisotropic Fermi sea. Here, we report transport measurements in a clean (low-disorder) 2D electron system with anisotropic effective mass and Fermi sea. The data reveal that at extremely low electron densities, when the r_s parameter, the ratio of the Coulomb to the Fermi energy, exceeds 38, the current-voltage characteristics become strongly nonlinear at small dc biases. Several key features of the nonlinear characteristics, including their anisotropic voltage thresholds, are consistent with the formation of a disordered, anisotropic WS pinned by the ubiquitous disorder potential. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2207.06618v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2207.06618v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 13 July, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

We discuss the structural and electronic properties of FeGe. Our proposed ground state phase accurately captures atomic topographies acquired by scanning tunneling microscopy. We show that the 2$\times$2$\times$1 CDW likely results from the Fermi surface nesting of hexagonal-prism-shaped kagome states. FeGe is found to exhibit distortions in the positions of the Ge atoms instead of the Fe atoms in the kagome layers. Using in-depth first-principles calculations and analytical modeling, we demonstrate that this unconventional distortion is driven by the intertwining of magnetic exchange coupling and CDW interactions in this kagome material. Movement of Ge atoms from their pristine positions also enhances the magnetic moment of the Fe kagome layers. Our study indicates that magnetic kagome lattices provide a material candidate for exploring the effects of strong electronic correlations on the ground state and their implications for transport, magnetic, and optical responses in materials. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2206.12033v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2206.12033v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 16 May, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 23 June, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> ACS NANO 2023 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.06269">arXiv:2204.06269</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.06269">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2204.06269">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.106203">10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.106203 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Emergent Edge Modes in Shifted Quasi-One-Dimensional Charge Density Waves </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+S">Song-Bo Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Liu%2C+X">Xiaoxiong Liu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hasan%2C+M+Z">M.

Existing scanning microscopy studies of the kagome charge order have been limited to non-kagome surface layers. Here we tunnel into the kagome lattice of FeGe to uncover features of the charge order. Our spectroscopic imaging identifes a 2x2 charge order in the magnetic kagome lattice, resembling that discovered in kagome superconductors. Spin-mapping across steps of unit-cell-height demonstrates that this charge order emerges from spin-polarized electrons with an antiferromagnetic stacking order. We further uncover the correlation between antiferromagnetism and charge order anisotropy, highlighting the unusual magnetic coupling of the charge order. Finally, we detect a pronounced edge state within the charge order energy gap, which is robust against the irregular shape of the kagome lattice edges. We discuss our results with the theoretically considered topological features of the kagome charge order including orbital magnetism and bulk-boundary correspondence. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.01888v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.01888v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 1 November, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 3 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

Co1/3NbS2 is one of the newest members of this family where Co atoms are intercalated into the Van der Waals gaps between NbS2 layers. We study the three-dimensional electronic band structure of Co1/3NbS2 using both surface and bulk sensitive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We show that the electronic bands do not fit into the rigid-band-shift picture after the Co intercalation. Instead, Co1/3NbS2 displays a different orbital character near the Fermi level compared to the pristine NbS2 compound and has a clear band dispersion in kz direction despite its layered structure. Our photoemission study demonstrates the out-of-plane electronic correlations introduced by the Co intercalation, thus offering a new perspective on this compound. Finally, we propose how Fermi level tuning could lead to exotic phases such as spin density wave instability. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.00675v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.00675v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 1 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted by Physical Review B</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.05718">arXiv:2110.05718</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.05718">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-022-01304-3">10.1038/s41563-022-01304-3 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Room-temperature quantum spin Hall edge state in a higher-order topological insulator Bi$_4$Br$_4$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shumiya%2C+N">Nana Shumiya</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+Z">Zhiwei Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Litskevich%2C+M">Maksim Litskevich</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yoon%2C+C">Chiho Yoon</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Li%2C+Y">Yongkai Li</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yang%2C+Y">Ying Yang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jiang%2C+Y">Yu-Xiao Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cheng%2C+G">Guangming Cheng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Lin%2C+Y">Yen-Chuan Lin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+Q">Qi Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cheng%2C+Z">Zi-Jia Cheng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cochran%2C+T+A">Tyler A.

The quantum spin Hall state, a topological quantum phenomenon that features a two-dimensional insulating bulk and a helical edge state, has not yet been realized at room temperature. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to visualize a quantum spin Hall edge state on the surface of the higher-order topological insulator Bi4Br4. We find that the atomically resolved lattice exhibits a large insulating gap of over 200meV, and an atomically sharp monolayer step edge hosts a striking in-gap gapless state, suggesting the topological bulk-boundary correspondence. An external magnetic field can gap the edge state, consistent with the time-reversal symmetry protection inherent to the underlying topology. We further identify the geometrical hybridization of such edge states, which not only attests to the Z2 topology of the quantum spin Hall state but also visualizes the building blocks of the higher-order topological insulator phase. Remarkably, both the insulating gap and topological edge state are observed to persist up to 300K. Our results point to the realization of the room-temperature quantum spin Hall edge state in a higher-order topological insulator. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2110.05718v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2110.05718v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 5 September, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 11 October, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nature Materials (2022) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.04542">arXiv:2105.04542</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.04542">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.104.075148">10.1103/PhysRevB.104.075148 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Electronic nature of chiral charge order in the kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5 </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+Z">Zhiwei Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jiang%2C+Y">Yu-Xiao Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Li%2C+Y">Yongkai Li</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+G">Guan-Yong Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Huang%2C+H">Hai-Li Huang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shao%2C+S">Shen Shao</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Liu%2C+J">Jinjin Liu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhu%2C+P">Peng Zhu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shumiya%2C+N">Nana Shumiya</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md Shafayat Hossain</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Liu%2C+H">Hongxiong Liu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Shi%2C+Y">Youguo Shi</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Duan%2C+J">Junxi Duan</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Li%2C+X">Xiang Li</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chang%2C+G">Guoqing Chang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Dai%2C+P">Pengcheng Dai</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ye%2C+Z">Zijin Ye</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Xu%2C+G">Gang Xu</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+Y">Yanchao Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zheng%2C+H">Hao Zheng</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jia%2C+J">Jinfeng Jia</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hasan%2C+M+Z">M.

Recently, unconventional chiral charge order has been reported in kagome superconductor KV3Sb5, with an ordering temperature of one order of magnitude higher than the TC. However, the chirality of the charge order has not been reported in the cousin kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5, and the electronic nature of the chirality remains elusive. In this letter, we report the observation of electronic chiral charge order in CsV3Sb5 via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We observe a 2x2 charge modulation and a 1x4 superlattice in both topographic data and tunneling spectroscopy. 2x2 charge modulation is highly anticipated as a charge order by fundamental kagome lattice models at van Hove filling, and is shown to exhibit intrinsic chirality. We find that the 1x4 superlattices forms various small domain walls, and can be a surface effect as supported by our first-principles calculations. Crucially, we find that the amplitude of the energy gap opened by the charge order exhibits real space modulations, and features 2x2 wave vectors with chirality, highlighting the electronic nature of the chiral charge order. STM study at 0.4K reveals a superconducting energy gap with a gap size 2螖=0.85meV, which estimates a moderate superconductivity coupling strength with 2螖/kBTc=3.9. When further applying a c-axis magnetic field, vortex core bound states are observed within this gap, indicative of clean-limit superconductivity. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2105.04542v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2105.04542v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 25 August, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 10 May, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

Recently, certain kagome superconductors have been found to exhibit an exotic charge order, which intertwines with superconductivity and persists to a temperature being one order of magnitude higher than TC. In this work, we use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study the charge order in kagome superconductor RbV3Sb5. We observe both a 2x2 chiral charge order and nematic surface superlattices (predominantly 1x4). We find that the 2x2 charge order exhibits intrinsic chirality with magnetic field tunability. Defects can scatter electrons to introduce standing waves, which couple with the charge order to cause extrinsic effects. While the chiral charge order resembles that discovered in KV3Sb5, it further interacts with the nematic surface superlattices that are absent in KV3Sb5 but exist in CsV3Sb5. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2105.00550v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2105.00550v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 July, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 2 May, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

The prime focus of this study is to investigate the impact of gamma irradiation on the microstructural, morphological, functional, optical and magnetic characteristics. The resulted NiFe2O4 products have been characterized employing numerous instrumental equipments such as FESEM, XRD, UV visible spectroscopy, FTIR and PPMS for a variety of gamma ray doses (0 kGy, 25 kGy and 100 kGy). FESEM micrographs illustrate the aggregation of ferrite nanoparticles in pristine NiFe2O4 product having an average particle size of 168 nm and the surface morphology is altered after exposure to gamma-irradiation. XRD spectra have been analyzed employing Rietveld method and the results of the XRD investigation reveal the desired phases (cubic spinel phases) of NiFe2O4 with observing other transitional phases. Several microstructural parameters such as bond length, bond angle, hopping length etc. have been determined from the analysis of Rietveld method. This study reports that the gamma irradiations demonstrate a great influence on optical bandgap energy and it varies from 1.80 and 1.89 eV evaluated via K M function. FTIR measurement depicts a proof for the persistence of Ni-O and Fe-O stretching vibrations within the respective products and thus indicating the successful development of NiFe2O4. The saturation magnetization (MS) of pristine Ni ferrite product is noticed to be 28.08 emug-1. A considerable increase in MS is observed in case of low gamma-dose (25 kGy) and a decrement nature is disclosed after the result of high dose of gamma irradiation (100kGy). <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2102.12385v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2102.12385v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 February, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">24 pages, 8 figures, 4 tables</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.03337">arXiv:2102.03337</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.03337">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0048979">10.1063/5.0048979 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Pressure induced semiconductor to metal phase transition in CsSnBr3 perovskite </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md.

In the present study, the first principles calculation has been performed with the help of density functional theory (DFT) using CASTEP code to investigate the physical properties of lead-free CsSnBr3 metal halide under various hydrostatic pressures. The pressure effect is determined in the range of 0-16 GPa. Subsequently, a significant change is observed in lattice constant and volume with increasing pressure. The electronic band structure show semiconductor to metal phase transition under elevated pressure. The investigation of optical functions displays that the absorption edge of CsSnBr3 perovskite is shifted remarkably toward the low energy region (red shift) with improved pressure up to 16 GPa. In addition, the absorptivity and dielectric constant also upsurges with the applied hydrostatic pressure. Finally, the mechanical properties reveal that CsSnBr3 perovskite is mechanically stable and highly ductile; the ductility is increased with raising pressure. This type of semiconductor to metal phase transition may inspire a wide range of potential applications. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2102.03337v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2102.03337v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 10 February, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 5 February, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2021. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.05714">arXiv:2101.05714</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.05714">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Physical properties of predicted MAX phase borides Hf2AB (A = Pb, Bi): a DFT insight </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">M.

A good agreement of the obtained lattice constants with the reported values confirmed the well accuracy of the present calculations. The stiffness constants (Cij) attest to the mechanical stability of all title compounds. The mechanical behaviors have been scrutinized discreetly by considering the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Youngs modulus, as well as hardness parameters. The brittle nature of Hf2AB (A = Pb, Bi) borides has also been confirmed. The electronic band structure and density of states (DOS) revealed the metallic behavior of the titled materials. The anisotropy in electrical conductivity has been disclosed by considering the energy dispersion along different directions. The variation of Vickers hardness is explained in terms of the total DOS of Hf2AB (A = Pb, Bi). The anisotropic nature of the mechanical properties of the phases has also been studied. The technologically important parameters (Debye temperature, minimum thermal conductivity, and Gr眉neisen parameter) have also been used to evaluate the thermal behaviors of the titled materials. The possibility of Hf2AB (A = Pb, Bi) for use as coating materials has been assessed by studying the reflectivity. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2101.05714v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2101.05714v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 January, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">28 pages</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.15709">arXiv:2012.15709</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.15709">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Superconductivity">cond-mat.supr-con</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-021-01034-y">10.1038/s41563-021-01034-y <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Discovery of unconventional chiral charge order in kagome superconductor KV3Sb5 </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Jiang%2C+Y">Yu-Xiao Jiang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Yin%2C+J">Jia-Xin Yin</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Denner%2C+M+M">M.

A charge density wave (CDW) like order with orbital currents has been proposed as a powerful resource for achieving the quantum anomalous Hall effect in topological materials and for the hidden phase in cuprate high-temperature superconductors. However, the experimental realization of such an order is challenging. Here we use high-resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) to discover an unconventional charge order in a kagome material KV3Sb5, with both a topological band structure and a superconducting ground state. Through both topography and spectroscopic imaging, we observe a robust 2x2 superlattice. Spectroscopically, an energy gap opens at the Fermi level, across which the 2x2 charge modulation exhibits an intensity reversal in real-space, signaling charge ordering. At impurity-pinning free region, the strength of intrinsic charge modulations further exhibits chiral anisotropy with unusual magnetic field response. Theoretical analysis of our experiments suggests a tantalizing unconventional chiral CDW in the frustrated kagome lattice, which can not only lead to large anomalous Hall effect with orbital magnetism, but also be a precursor of unconventional superconductivity. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2012.15709v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2012.15709v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 5 May, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 31 December, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Orbital magnetism calculation added</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nature Materials (2021) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.06721">arXiv:2011.06721</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.06721">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2011.06721">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Applied Physics">physics.app-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.116601">10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.116601 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Observation of spontaneous valley polarization of itinerant electrons </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Hossain%2C+M+S">Md.

Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new field, valleytronics, which seeks to exploit electron&#39;s valley index rather than its spin. An important component in this quest would be the ability to control the valley index in a convenient fashion. Here we show that the valley polarization can be switched from zero to one by a small reduction in density, simply tuned by a gate bias, in a two-dimensional electron system. This phenomenon arises fundamentally as a result of electron-electron interaction in an itinerant, dilute electron system. Essentially, the kinetic energy favors an equal distribution of electrons over the available valleys, whereas the interaction between electrons prefers single-valley occupancy below a critical density. The gate-bias-tuned transition we observe is accompanied by a sudden, two-fold change in sample resistance, making the phenomenon of interest for potential valleytronic transistor device applications. Our observation constitutes a quintessential demonstration of valleytronics in a very simple experiment. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2011.06721v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2011.06721v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 15 November, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 12 November, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

In the absence of disorder, it has long been expected that as the electron density is lowered, the exchange energy gained by aligning the electron spins should exceed the enhancement in the kinetic (Fermi) energy, leading to a (Bloch) ferromagnetic transition. At even lower densities, another transition to a (Wigner) solid, an ordered array of electrons, should occur. Experimental access to these regimes, however, has been limited because of the absence of a material platform that supports an electron system with very high-quality (low disorder) and low density simultaneously. Here we explore the ground states of interacting electrons in an exceptionally-clean, two-dimensional electron system confined to a modulation-doped AlAs quantum well. The large electron effective mass in this system allows us to reach very large values of the interaction parameter $r_s$, defined as the ratio of the Coulomb to Fermi energies. As we lower the electron density via gate bias, we find a sequence of phases, qualitatively consistent with the above scenario: a paramagnetic phase at large densities, a spontaneous transition to a ferromagnetic state when $r_s$ surpasses 35, and then a phase with strongly non-linear current-voltage characteristics, suggestive of a pinned Wigner solid, when $r_s$ exceeds $\simeq 38$. However, our sample makes a transition to an insulating state at $r_s\simeq 27$, preceding the onset of the spontaneous ferromagnetism, implying that, besides interaction, the role of disorder must also be taken into account in understanding the different phases of a realistic dilute electron system. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2011.01335v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2011.01335v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 2 November, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Dec 2020, 202018248 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.15537">arXiv:2010.15537</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.15537">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2010.15537">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.013181">10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.013181 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Competition between fractional quantum Hall liquid and Wigner solid at small fillings: Role of layer thickness and Landau level mixing </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&amp;query=Rosales%2C+K+A+V">K.

An ordered array of electrons, the so-called Wigner crystal, has long been believed to be the answer. It was in fact the search for the elusive Wigner crystal that led to the discovery of an unexpected, incompressible liquid state, namely the fractional quantum Hall state at $谓=1/3$. Understanding the competition between the liquid and solid ground states has since remained an active field of fundamental research. Here we report experimental data for a new two-dimensional system where the electrons are confined to an AlAs quantum well. The exceptionally high quality of the samples and the large electron effective mass allow us to determine the liquid-solid phase diagram for the two-dimensional electrons in a large range of filling factors near $\simeq 1/3$ and $\simeq 1/5$. The data and their comparison with an available theoretical phase diagram reveal the crucial role of Landau level mixing and finite electron layer thickness in determining the prevailing ground states. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2010.15537v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2010.15537v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 29 October, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

We report here the observation of an abrupt, interaction-driven transition to full magnetization, highly reminiscent of Bloch ferromagnetism that has eluded experiments for the last ninety years. Our platform is the exotic two-dimensional Fermi sea of composite fermions at half-filling of the lowest Landau level. Via quantitative measurements of the Fermi wavevector, which provides a direct measure of the spin polarization, we observe a sudden transition from a partially-spin-polarized to a fully-spin-polarized ground state as we lower the composite fermions&#39; density.

In 1960, Luttinger postulated that the area enclosed by the Fermi surface should remain unaffected even when electron-electron interaction is turned on, so long as the interaction does not cause a phase transition. Understanding what determines the Fermi surface size is a crucial and yet unsolved problem in strongly interacting systems such as high-$T_{c}$ superconductors. Here we present a precise test of the Luttinger theorem for a two-dimensional Fermi liquid system where the exotic quasi-particles themselves emerge from the strong interaction, namely for the Fermi sea of composite fermions (CFs). Via direct, geometric resonance measurements of the CFs&#39; Fermi wavevector down to very low electron densities, we show that the Luttinger theorem is obeyed over a significant range of interaction strengths, in the sense that the Fermi sea area is determined by the density of the \textit{minority carriers} in the lowest Landau level. Our data also address the ongoing debates on whether or not CFs obey particle-hole symmetry, and if they are Dirac particles. We find that particle-hole symmetry is obeyed, but the measured Fermi sea area differs quantitatively from that predicted by the Dirac model for CFs. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2007.10208v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2007.10208v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 July, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">6 pages, 4 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

Specifically, electrons bind with an even number of flux quanta, and transform into composite fermions (CFs). Besides providing an intuitive explanation for the fractional quantum Hall states, CFs also possess Fermi-liquid-like properties, including a well-defined Fermi sea, at and near even-denominator Landau level filling factors such as $谓=1/2$ or $1/4$. Here, we directly probe the Fermi sea of the rarely studied four-flux CFs near $谓=1/4$ via geometric resonance experiments. The data reveal some unique characteristics. Unlike in the case of two-flux CFs, the magnetic field positions of the geometric resonance resistance minima for $谓&lt;1/4$ and $谓&gt;1/4$ are symmetric with respect to the position of $谓=1/4$. However, when an in-plane magnetic field is applied, the minima positions become asymmetric, implying a mysterious asymmetry in the CF Fermi sea anisotropy for $谓&lt;1/4$ and $谓&gt;1/4$. This asymmetry, which is in stark contrast to the two-flux CFs, suggests that the four-flux CFs on the two sides of $谓=1/4$ have very different effective masses, possibly because of the proximity of the Wigner crystal formation at small $谓$. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1907.07563v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1907.07563v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 29 July, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 17 July, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">7 pages, 4 figures, supplemental materials</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

We demonstrate here the unexpected presence of such a state in a novel 2DES with a strong band-mass anisotropy. The FQHS we observe has unusual characteristics. While its Hall resistance is well-quantized at low temperatures, it exhibits highly-anisotropic in-plane transport resembling compressible stripe/nematic charge-density-wave phases. More striking, the anisotropy sets in suddenly below a critical temperature, suggesting a finite-temperature phase transition. Our observations highlight how anisotropy modifies the many-body phases of a 2DES, and should further fuel the discussion surrounding the enigmatic even-denominator FQHS. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1811.07094v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1811.07094v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 16 November, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2018. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted for publication in Phys.

The spontaneous, symmetry-breaking charge order, responsible for the stripe or the nematic phase, has been of great interest in many contexts where strong correlations are present, such as high-temperature superconductivity and quantum Hall effect. In this article we show the unexpected result that in an interacting two-dimensional electron system, the robustness of the nematic phase, which represents an order in the charge degree of freedom, not only depends on the orbital index of the topmost, half-filled Landau level, but it is also strongly correlated with the magnetic order of the system. Intriguingly, when the system is fully magnetized, the nematic phase is particularly robust and persists to much higher temperatures compared to the nematic phases observed previously in quantum Hall systems. Our results give fundamental new insight into the role of magnetization in stabilizing the nematic phase, while also providing a new knob with which it can be effectively tuned. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1808.04306v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1808.04306v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 13 August, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2018. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.
