Spin nematic liquid crystal and scalar spin chirality in tetragonal lattice YbMnBi

Yaofeng Xie, Sijie Xu, Yu Pan +22

A spin nematic order, analogous to the nematic liquid crystal, characterizes the spontaneous breaking of spin-space rotational symmetry while preserving time-reversal () symmetr…

Magnetic field-induced momentum-dependent symmetry breaking in a kagome superconductor

Jianwei Huang, Zheng Ren, Hengxin Tan +17

When multiple degrees of freedom share similar energy scales in quantum materials, intertwined electronic orders, which exhibit broken symmetries, are often strongly coupled. Recen…
