What if electricity and magnetism, usually considered as separate or even competing forces in materials, could actually work together in harmony? Charge density waves are quantum phenomena occurring ...

The reduced dimensionality and broken symmetry of a surface endows it with unique physical and chemical properties that drastically differ from the bulk 1,2. Prominent surface-specific features ...

Scientists discover superconductivity and charge density waves are intrinsically interconnected at the nanoscopic level, a new understanding that could help lead to the next generation of electronics ...

New research in Chinese Physics Letters investigates the phenomena of superconductivity and charge density waves in a monolayer material grown on a graphene substrate. Study: Charge Density Wave and ...

Scientists have found a new way to create a crystalline structure called a 'density wave' in an atomic gas. The findings can help us better understand the behavior of quantum matter, one of the most ...

The kagome lattice has emerged as a fertile platform for investigating intertwined electronic orders owing to its unique geometric frustration and nontrivial band topology. In materials such as AV3Sb5 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Charge density wave (CDW) is a quantum mechanical phenomenon, which induces distortion in the crystal structures of some low-dimensional (1D or 2D) metals, when the temperature is ...

(Nanowerk News) When stacking two layers of van der Waals (vdW) materials, a moiré pattern is produced by the modulation of the long wavelength periodic potential. The moiré pattern is a promising ...

Crystallography is the study of the atomic structures of crystals, where the diffraction or reflection of x-rays through the crystal is used to determine the crystal's internal structure. Crystal ...

Room-temperature superconductors could transform everything from electrical grids to particle accelerators to computers – but before they can be realized, researchers need to better understand how ...
