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…

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.…

Incommensurate Transverse Peierls Transition
F. Z. Yang, K. F. Luo, Weizhe Zhang +19
In one-dimensional quantum materials, conducting electrons and the underlying lattices can undergo a spontaneous translational symmetry breaking, known as Peierls transition. For n…
