Hysteresis without coexistence: disorder-rounded first-order transitions in a van der Waals magnet
Xiaoyu Guo, Abby N. Neill, Christopher M. Pasco +2
Quenched disorder can profoundly modify phase transitions. In low-dimensional systems, theory predicts that even weak quenched disorder can round the thermodynamic discontinuities…

Stripping Symmetry: Electrochemical Oxidation to a Superconducting Polar Metal in Au2Pb0.914P2
Scott B. Lee, Stephanie R. Dulovic, Joseph W. Stiles +11
Polar metals and noncentrosymmetric superconductors are exceptionally rare, yet their broken inversion symmetry can give rise to emergent electronic phenomena including mixed singl…

Symmetry-mediated quantum coherence of spins in an oxygen-deficient double perovskite
Shannon Bernier, Mekhola Sinha, Tyler J. Pearson +7
Elucidating the factors limiting quantum coherence in real materials is essential to the development of quantum technologies. Here we report a strategic approach to determine the e…
