Materials with multiple superconducting phases are rare. Here, we report the discovery of two-phase unconventional superconductivity in CeRh2As2. Using thermodynamic probes …
Weyl and Dirac semimetals are three-dimensional phases of matter with gapless electronic excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. As three-dimensional analogs of …
The strong light-matter interaction and the valley selective optical selection rules make monolayer (ML) MoS 2 an exciting 2D material for fundamental physics and optoelectronics …
Advances in thermoelectrics are motivated by the innovation of thermoelectric theories. The Rashba effect, spin-dependent band splitting, paves a new path to enhance thermoelectric …

Many textbook physical effects in crystals are enabled by some specific symmetries. In contrast to such 'apparent effects','hidden effect X'refers to the general condition where the …
Traditionally, the primary field, where curvature has been at the heart of research, is the theory of general relativity. In recent studies, however, the impact of curvilinear geometry …
The energy vs crystal momentum E (k) diagram for a solid (band structure) constitutes the road map for navigating its optical, magnetic, and transport properties. By selecting crystals …
