Magnetism fosters unusual electronic order in quantum material

Phys.org  March 13, 2023 Various correlated electronic phases have been discovered in kagome lattice materials, including magnetism, charge density waves, nematicity and superconductivity. Recently, a charge density wave was discovered in the magnetic kagome FeGe, providing a platform for understanding the interplay between charge order and magnetism in kagome materials. An internationl team of researchers (USA – Rice University, UC Berkeley, University of Washington, University, SLAC National Acclerator Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Israel, China) observed all three electronic signatures of the kagome lattice in FeGe using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. They showed that the presence of van […]
