UCLA Physicists Find Direct Evidence of a ‘Liquid’ Charge Density Wave in a Classic Quantum Material

UCLA researchers report direct experimental evidence for a liquid-like charge density wave in 1T-TaS2, a result published in Nature Physics that appears to resolve a 30-year theoretical dispute. The observation expands the known landscape of electronic order in correlated materials and has potential implications for understanding and controlling emergent phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity.
