Chemical and optical control of chiral-domain dynamics in 1T-TaS
Qingzheng Qiu, Mengxian Zhao, Roman Mankowsky +14
Optical control of symmetry-breaking quantum phases is often constrained when one domain is strongly favored in equilibrium. This limitation is exemplified by the chiral charge-den…
Interlayer hybridization enables superconductivity in bilayer nickelates
Shilong Zhang, Meng Zhang, Qilin Luo +10
Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates offer a new route to high-temperature superconductivity beyond the cuprates and iron-pnictides. However, the electronic reorganization that enables sup…
Mixed spin states for robust ferromagnetism in strained SrCoO thin films
Xiquan Zheng, Nicholas B. Brookes, Flora Yakhou-Harris +11
Epitaxial strain in transition-metal oxides can induce dramatic changes in electronic and magnetic properties. A recent study on the epitaxially strained SrCoO thin films revea…
Ultrafast Orbital-Selective Photodoping Melts Charge Order in Overdoped Bi-based Cuprates
Xinyi Jiang, Qizhi Li, Qingzheng Qiu +10
High-temperature superconductivity in cuprates remains one of the enduring puzzles of condensed matter physics, with charge order (CO) playing a central yet elusive role, particula…
Van-Hove annihilation and nematic instability on a Kagome lattice
Yu-Xiao Jiang, Sen Shao, Wei Xia +20
Novel states of matter arise in quantum materials due to strong interactions among electrons. A nematic phase breaks the point group symmetry of the crystal lattice and is known to…
