Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside some solid materials. These patterns can change how electricity flows ...

Topological materials are characterised by unique electronic and physical properties that are determined by the underlying topology of their electronic systems. Scientists from the Max Planck ...

Researchers have detected the existence of a charge density wave of electrons that acquires mass as it interacts with the background lattice ions of the material over long distances. Researchers at ...

Researchers have observed a doping-tunable charge density wave (CDW) in a single-layer semiconductor, extending the CDW phenomenon from metals to doped semiconductors. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...

UPTON, NY—What makes some materials carry current with no resistance? Scientists are trying to unravel the complex characteristics. Harnessing this property, known as superconductivity, could lead to ...

Atoms of a tantalum disulfide (TaS2) crystal with a 2D endotaxial layer in the center. The pink cloud represents the charge density wave, a clumped pattern of electrons, surrounding the 2D layer.

A novel material has been discovered that is characterised by the coupling of a charge density wave with the topology of the electronic structure. Topological materials are characterised by unique ...
