“Huge” Distortions – Researchers Create a New Type of Quantum Material
This illustration shows how an electronic tug-of-war between the layers of a new quantum material has warped its atomic lattice into a dramatic herringbone-like pattern. Scientists at SLAC and Stanford who created the material are just starting to explore how this ‘huge’ distortion affects the material’s properties.
