    • Insulators and Metals With Topological Order and Discrete Symmetry Breaking 

      Chatterjee, Shubhayu; Sachdev, Subir (American Physical Society (APS), 2017-05-22)
      Numerous experiments have reported discrete symmetry breaking in the high temperature pseudogap phase of the hole-doped cuprates, including breaking of one or more of lattice rotation, inversion, or time-reversal symmetries. ...
    • Oxide Thermoelectrics: The Role of Crystal Structure on Thermopower in Strongly Correlated Spinels 

      Sparks, Taylor David (2012-08-10)
      This dissertation reports on the synthesis, structural and thermal characterization and electrical and thermal transport properties of a variety of strongly correlated spinels. General structure property relationships for ...
    • Structure and control of charge density waves in two-dimensional 1T-TaS 2 

      Tsen, Adam W.; Hovden, Robert; Wang, Dennis; Kim, Young Duck; Okamoto, Junichi; Spoth, Katherine A.; Liu, Yu; Lu, Wenjian; Sun, Yuping; Hone, James C.; Kourkoutis, Lena F.; Kim, Philip; Pasupathy, Abhay N. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015)
      The layered transition metal dichalcogenides host a rich collection of charge density wave phases in which both the conduction electrons and the atomic structure display translational symmetry breaking. Manipulating these ...
