Coexisting Charge Density Wave and Superconducting Order in Quantizing Magnetic Fields

Charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity are both common in strongly interacting electron systems. While CDW order is ubiquitous in both quantum Hall systems and unconventional superconductors, superconductivity is generally suppressed by the strong magnetic fields required for Landau quantization. Here we investigate the intertwined CDW and superconducting phases of rhombohedral hexalayer graphene (R6G) in a large displacement field, which generates tunable flat band edges, and a strong magnetic field, which generates a manifold of nearly degenerate Landau levels. We find a series of integer quantum Hall effects with Hall conductance quantum numbers that deviate from nearby integer filling factors, an observation that can be explained only by CDW order that mixes many Landau levels. We also find a nearby superconducting phase stabilized by perpendicular magnetic fields and persists deep within the quantum Hall regime. This intertwinement provides new insight into superconductivity in R6G at zero magnetic field.

Magnetic Topological Semimetal Phase with Electronic Correlation Enhancement in SmSbTe

The ZrSiS family of compounds hosts various exotic quantum phenomena due to the presence of both topological nonsymmorphic Dirac fermions and nodal-line fermions. In this material family, the LnSbTe (Ln= lanthanide) compounds are particularly interesting owing to the intrinsic magnetism from magnetic Ln which leads to new properties and quantum states. In this work, the authors focus on the previously unexplored compound SmSbTe. The studies reveal a rare combination of a few functional properties in this material, including antiferromagnetism with possible magnetic frustration, electron correlation enhancement, and Dirac nodal-line fermions. These properties enable SmSbTe as a unique platform to explore exotic quantum phenomena and advanced functionalities arising from the interplay between magnetism, topology, and electronic correlations.
