Origin of the reaction temperature in solid-state materials synthesis
Shibo Tan, Gabrielle E. Kamm, Alex Stangel +12
Temperature plays a crucial role in solid-state materials synthesis, but there is currently no mechanistic theory to explain or predict which temperature is best to conduct a solid…
Helium-Cooled Cryogenic STEM Imaging and Ptychography for Atomic-Scale Study of Low-Temperature Phases
Noah Schnitzer, Mariana Palos, Geri Topore +7
Much of the exotic functionality of prime interest in quantum materials emerges from structural and electronic ground states that can only be accessed at cryogenic temperatures. Un…
Delayed 1T to 2H Phase Transition Upon Electrochemical Delithiation of LiMoS2
Yerin Hong, Juhwan Lim, Jinhong Min +4
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a widely studied layered material for electronic, optical, and catalytic applications. It can host lithium ions between the van der Waals layers, whi…
Melting point depression of charge density wave in 1T-TiSe due to size effects
Saif Siddique, Mehrdad T. Kiani, Omri Lesser +13
Classical nucleation theory predicts size-dependent nucleation and melting due to surface and confinement effects at the nanoscale. In correlated electronic states, observation of…
Intertwined polar, chiral, and ferro-rotational orders in a rotation-only insulator
Weizhe Zhang, June Ho Yeo, Xiaoyu Guo +8
Intertwined orders refer to strongly coupled and mutually dependent orders that coexist in correlated electron systems, often underpinning key physical properties of the host mater…
Nanoscale Polar Landscapes in Quantum Paraelectric SrTiO3
Yang Zhang, Suk Hyun Sung, Nishkarsh Agarwal +5
SrTiO3 is a textbook quantum paraelectric, with ferroelectricity purportedly suppressed by quantum fluctuations of ionic positions down to the lowest temperatures. The precise real…
Chiral quantum magnets with optically and catalytically active spin ladders
Bum Chul Park, Sung-Chul Kim, Dae Beom Lee +21
Chiral quantum magnets with spin-states separated by a large energy gap are technologically attractive but difficult to realize. Geometrically frustrated topological states with na…
Tunable symmetry breaking in a hexagonal-stacked moiré magnet
Zeliang Sun, Gaihua Ye, Xiaohan Wan +13
Symmetry plays a central role in defining magnetic phases, making tunable symmetry breaking across magnetic transitions highly desirable for discovering non-trivial magnetism. Magn…
Melting of Charge Density Waves in Low Dimensions
Jeremy M. Shen, Alex Stangel, Suk Hyun Sung +9
Charge density waves (CDWs) are collective electronic states that can reshape and melt, even while confined within a rigid atomic crystal. In two dimensions, melting is predicted t…
Endotaxial Stabilization of 2D Charge Density Waves with Long-range Order
Suk Hyun Sung, Nishkarsh Agarwal, Ismail El Baggari +10
Charge density waves are emergent quantum states that spontaneously reduce crystal symmetry, drive metal-insulator transitions, and precede superconductivity. In low-dimensions, di…
Ferro-rotational domain walls revealed by electric quadrupole second harmonic generation microscopy
Xiaoyu Guo, Rachel Owen, Austin Kaczmarek +9
Domain walls are ubiquitous in materials that undergo phase transitions driven by spontaneous symmetry breaking. Domain walls in ferroics and multiferroics have received tremendous…
