Correlated topological-polarization surface states in the narrow-gap insulator FeSb2
Takahiro Iwagaki, Hideki Matsuoka, Ginta Hoshino +7
Strong electron correlations and band topology each generate rich quantum phases, but conflicting elemental requirements have largely kept them apart. Topological polarization offe…
Visualization of Co 3d high- and low-spin states via valence electron density
Kamini Gautam, Shunsuke Kitou, Yuiga Nakamura +5
Properties of trivalent cobalt oxides are governed by the spin and orbital states of Co3+ ions, which are strongly coupled to their local coordination environments and chemical bon…
Real-space determination of orbital states driving successive phase transitions in FeV2O4
Chihaya Koyama, Yusuke Nomura, Shunsuke Kitou +8
Direct experimental access to orbital states in strongly correlated materials remains a major challenge, despite their central role in driving coupled structural and magnetic phase…
Antiferromagnetic Dimers in the Parent Phase of a Correlated Kagome Superconductor
Yifan Wang, Chenchao Xu, Yi Liu +18
Kagome metals are prone to charge-density wave (CDW), magnetic, and superconducting phases, with their flat electronic band conducive for correlated physics. In contrast to the wea…
Experimental quantification of electronic symmetry breaking through orbital hybridization phase
Shungo Aoyagi, Shunsuke Kitou, Yuiga Nakamura +2
Symmetry classification of crystal structures has been central to predicting physical properties of materials. While such structural classification identifies which physical respon…
Bond-density-wave orders induced by geometric frustration in the kagome metal CeRu3Si2
Ryo Misawa, Shunsuke Kitou, Rinsuke Yamada +9
Geometric frustration gives rise to vast manifolds of degenerate ground states and competing orders in spin and charge systems. Typically, classical ground states are governed by a…
