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…

Suppression of Intertwined Density Waves in LaNiCuO

Stephen Zhang, Danrui Ni, Ruyi Ke +3

Superconductivity in LaNiO has been reported to emerge upon suppression of intertwined spin and charge density wave (SDW/CDW) order, suggesting a possible connec…
