Ferroaxial and nematic transitions in the charge density wave phase of 1T-TiSe
Sarah Edwards, Elliott Rosenberg, Ilaria Maccari +9
Charge density waves (CDWs) with multi-component order parameters can break unexpected symmetries through the interplay of nearly degenerate instabilities. In the widely investigat…

Revisiting vestigial order in nematic superconductors: gauge-field mechanisms and model constraints
Ilaria Maccari, Egor Babaev, Johan Carlström
An electronic nematic order that originates from superconducting fluctuation but persists above the superconducting transition temperature is often referred to as a vestigial nemat…

Switchable half-quantum flux states in a ring of the kagome superconductor CsVSb
Shuo Wang, Ilaria Maccari, Xilin Feng +14
Magnetic flux quantization in units of is a defining feature of superconductivity, rooted in the charge-2e nature of Cooper pairs. In a ring geometry, the flux quanti…
