Correlated charge order intertwined with time-reversal symmetry-breaking nodal superconductivity in the dual flat band kagome superconductor CeRuSi
O. Gerguri, P. Kràl, M. Spitaler +19
Kagome materials provide a powerful platform for exploring how flat electronic bands promote symmetry-breaking quantum states, yet studies have so far focused mainly on kagome-deri…
