Anomalous Thermal Transport Reveals Weak First-Order Melting of Charge Density Waves in 2H-TaSe2
Han Huang, Jinghang Dai, Joyce Christiansen-Salameh +14
How ordered phases melt in low-dimensional quantum materials remain difficult to resolve because the relevant fluctuations are dynamic and charge neutral. In this work, we show tha…

Anomalous properties of spark plasma sintered boron nitride solids
Abhijit Biswas, Peter Serles, Gustavo A. Alvarez +22
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a brittle ceramic with a layered structure, however, recent experiments have suggested that inter-layer structural engineering could be key to new…

Non-linear optics at twist interfaces in h-BN/SiC heterostructures
Abhijit Biswas, Rui Xu, Gustavo A. Alvarez +24
Understanding the emergent electronic structure in twisted atomically thin layers has led to the exciting field of twistronics. However, practical applications of such systems are…
