Reversible Superdense Ordering of Tetragonal Lithium in a Layered Material

Natalie L. Williams, Stephen D. Funni, Sihun Lee +14

Understanding lithium (Li) ordering and dynamics is foundational in energy storage. X-ray based experimental methods do not simultaneously provide atomic structure information toge…

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…

Uncovering the Hidden Ferroaxial Density Wave as the Origin of the Axial Higgs Mode in RTe

Birender Singh, Grant McNamara, Kyung-Mo Kim +24

The recent discovery of an axial amplitude (Higgs) mode in the long-studied charge density wave (CDW) systems GdTe and LaTe suggests a heretofore unidentified hidden order.…
