Thinning crystalline materials to two dimensions (2D) creates a rich playground for electronic phases, including charge, spin, superconducting, and topological order. Bulk materials hosting charge density waves (CDWs), when reduced to…
We study the coupled charge-lattice dynamics in the commensurate charge density wave (CDW) phase of the layered compound 1T-TaS$_{2}$ driven by an ultrashort laser pulse. For describing its electronic structure, we employ a tight-binding…
Increasing experimental evidence suggests the occurrence of filamentary superconductivity in different (quasi) two-dimensional physical systems. In this piece of work, we discuss the proposal that under certain circumstances, this…
We formulate a dynamical model to describe a photo-induced charge density wave (CDW) quench transition and apply it to recent multi-probe experiments on LaTe$_3$ [A. Zong et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 27 (2019)]. Our approach relies on coupled…
The presence of different electronic orders other than superconductivity populating the phase diagram of cuprates suggests that they might be the key to disclose the mysteries of this class of materials. In particular charge order in the…
Charge density wave (CDW), a symmetry-breaking collective phenomenon in condensed matter systems, exhibits periodic modulations of electron density coupled with lattice distortions, where the lattice plays a critical role via…
We study the non-equilibrium structural dynamics of the incommensurate and nearly-commensurate charge-density wave phases in 1T-TaS$_2$. Employing ultrafast low-energy electron diffraction (ULEED) with 1 ps temporal resolution, we…
Charge-density-wave (CDW) order and superconductivity often compete in low-dimensional materials, yet their interplay in Janus MXenes remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a comprehensive first-principles investigation of the…
Charge density waves are emergent quantum states that spontaneously reduce crystal symmetry, drive metal-insulator transitions, and precede superconductivity. In low-dimensions, distinct quantum states arise, however, thermal fluctuations…
Controlling quantum materials with ultrafast light pulses enables access to transient and metastable states that are inaccessible under equilibrium conditions. Yet their local dynamics remain poorly understood due to the challenge of…
Four-dimensional ultrafast transmission electron microscopy (4D-UTEM) measurements reveal a rich variety of structural dynamic phenomena at a phase transition in the charge-density-wave (CDW) 1T-TaSe2. Through the photoexcitation,…
Metastable phases present a promising route to expand the functionality of complex materials. Of particular interest are light-induced metastable phases that are inaccessible under equilibrium conditions, as they often host new, emergent…
The role of charge order in the phase diagram of high temperature cuprate superconductors has been recently re-emphasized by the experimental discovery of an incipient bi-directional charge density wave (CDW) phase in a class of underdoped…
We study theoretically the quenching of a charge-density-wave phase in a model system of a quasi-two dimensional material, which includes both electron-hole and electron-phonon interactions leading, respectively to excitonic and…
Charge-density wave (CDW) order is a key property of high-Tc cuprates, but its boundaries in the phase diagram and potential connections to other phases remain controversial. We report nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in the…
The formation of a charge density wave state is characterized by an order parameter. The way it is established provides unique information on both the role that correlation plays in driving the charge density wave formation and the…
It is now well established that superconducting cuprates support a charge density wave state in the so-called underdoped region of their phase diagram. We investigate the possibility of charge order in the square-lattice Hubbard model, both…
Charge density wave (CDW) orders in YNiC2 are studied by means of combined experimental and computational techniques. On the experimental side, single crystals grown by the floating-zone method were examined by means of X-ray diffraction,…
To explore the doping dependence of the recently discovered charge density wave (CDW) order in YBa2Cu3Oy, we present a bulk-sensitive high-energy x-ray study for several oxygen concentrations, including strongly underdoped YBa2Cu3O6.44.…
We report a detailed study of the microscopic effects of Cu intercalation on the charge density wave (CDW) in 1\textit{T}-Cu$_x$TiSe$_2$. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) reveal a unique, Cu driven spatial texturing…
