Researchers from the University of Hong Kong, including Drs. Hongyu Lu, Bin-bin Chen and Prof. Zi Yang Meng, teamed up with Profs. Kai Sun from the University of Michigan and Han-Qing Wu from Sun Yat-sen University, discovered different ways of ordering electrons in 2D quantum materials. In particular, the research team focused on the interplay between smectic order and topological order. The exotic states and thermal phase transitions exhibiting such features are expected to be accessed in future experiments. Continue reading
