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…

Exceptional Optical Phonon Coherence in Enriched Cubic Boron Arsenide via Suppression of Three-Phonon Scattering

Tong Lin, Fengjiao Pan, Gaihua Ye +8

Cubic boron arsenide (BAs) is a promising semiconductor for next-generation electronics due to its outstanding ambipolar mobility and thermal conductivity, the latter of which is a…

Polarization-Differential Loss Enabled High Polarization Extinction in Hollow-Core Fibers

Yizhi Sun, Shoufei Gao, Xiangqi Wang +5

Delivering a well defined state of polarization over hollow core fibres (HCFs) is pivotal for next generation ultra stable photonic systems. Yet in all existing HCFs, whether biref…

Tunable symmetry breaking in a hexagonal-stacked moiré magnet

Zeliang Sun, Gaihua Ye, Xiaohan Wan +13

Symmetry plays a central role in defining magnetic phases, making tunable symmetry breaking across magnetic transitions highly desirable for discovering non-trivial magnetism. Magn…

Growth of hexagonal BN crystals by traveling-solvent floating zone

Eli Zoghlin, Juliette Plo, Gaihua Ye +11

Large, high-purity single-crystals of hexagonal BN (h-BN) are essential for exploiting its many desirable and interesting properties. Here, we demonstrate via X-ray tomography, X-r…
