Pervasive electronic nematicity as the parent state of kagome superconductors
Muxian Xu, Siyu Cheng, Andrea Capa Salinas +10
Kagome superconductors VSb ( = Cs, K, Rb) have developed into an exciting playground for realizing and exploring exotic solid state phenomena. Abundant experimental e…
Nanoscale strain manipulation of smectic susceptibility in kagome superconductors
Yidi Wang, Hong Li, Siyu Cheng +6
Exotic quantum solids can host electronic states that spontaneously break rotational symmetry of the electronic structure, such as electronic nematic phases and unidirectional char…
Colossal orbital Zeeman effect driven by tunable spin-Berry curvature in a kagome metal
Hong Li, Siyu Cheng, Ganesh Pokharel +8
Berry phase and the related concept of Berry curvature can give rise to many unconventional phenomena in solids. In this work, we discover colossal orbital Zeeman effect of topolog…
Quantifying magnetic field driven lattice distortions in kagome metals at the femto-scale using scanning tunneling microscopy
Christopher Candelora, Hong Li, Muxian Xu +7
A wide array of unusual phenomena has recently been uncovered in kagome solids. The charge density wave (CDW) state in the kagome superconductor AV3Sb5 in particular intrigued the…
Proximity-Induced Superconductivity in a Topological Crystalline Insulator
Bryan Rachmilowitz, He Zhao, Hong Li +5
Superconducting topological crystalline insulators (TCI) are predicted to host new topological phases protected by crystalline symmetries, but available materials are insufficientl…
