Ultrafast Magnetization Induced from Raman-Active Axial Chiral Phonons

Chuankun Huang, Alexander Milner, Jiaming Luo +8

Axial chiral phonons, which carry angular momentum and exhibit unusually large magnetic moments, provide a new degree of freedom for controlling the time-reversal symmetry and 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…

Dimensionality crossover to 2D vestigial nematicity from 3D zigzag antiferromagnetism in an XY-type honeycomb van der Waals magnet

Zeliang Sun, Gaihua Ye, Mengqi Huang +12

Fluctuations and disorder effects are substantially enhanced in reduced dimensionalities. While they are mostly considered as the foe for long-range orders, fluctuations and disord…
