Structural Phase Separation Couples to Charge-Density-Wave Formation in Kagome Metal FeGe
Boyang Zhao, Youngjun Ahn, Qinwen Deng +7
The intertwining of charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom underlies the emergent properties of correlated materials. A recent prominent example is the kagome metal FeGe, whi…
Dynamical criticality of spin-shear coupling in van der Waals antiferromagnets
Faran Zhou, Kyle Hwangbo, Qi Zhang +15
The interplay between a multitude of electronic, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom underlies the complex phase diagrams of quantum materials. Layer stacking in van der Waals (vd…
Optically Induced Picosecond Lattice Compression in the Dielectric Component of a Strongly Coupled Ferroelectric/Dielectric Superlattice
