Alternating triangular charge density wave domains observed within a layered superconducting compound - EurekAlert


<p>A research team consisting of NIMS and the Tokyo University of Science observed charge density waves (CDWs) within Niobium diselenide (NbSe<sub>2</sub>)&mdash;a layered compound&mdash;at cryogenic temperatures and discovered that they form alternating triangular domains characterized by two distinctive star-shaped and clover-shaped CDW structures. This domain structure was found to be consistent with a theoretical prediction made about four decades ago.</p>
