A New Quantum Landscape: Coexisting High-Tc Superconductivity, Magnetism, and Complex Charge Order in LaRu3Si2.

Despite intense research on kagome superconductors, many fundamental questions remain—especially regarding the unconventional nature of their charge order and superconducting phases. These materials are rich in complexity, and to truly unravel their behavior, a broad and integrated approach is essential. In our study ...

Pressure-enhanced splitting of density wave transitions in La3Ni2O7–δ

The observation of superconductivity in La3Ni2O7–δ under pressure, following the suppression of a high-temperature density wave state, has attracted considerable attention. The nature of this density wave order was not clearly identified. Here we probe the magnetic response of the zero-pressure phase of La3Ni2O7–δ as hydrostatic pressure is applied, and find that the apparent single density wave transition at zero applied pressure splits into two. The comparison of our muon-spin rotation ...
