When the period of an incommensurate charge density wave (ICDW) approaches a multiple of a lattice vector, the energy gain from locking the period can drive a transition into an intermediate near-commensurate (NC) state made of locally commensurate regions separated...

In quantum materials, electronic responses to electric and magnetic fields can manifest the quantum geometry of electronic wavefunctions. These geometrical properties are encoded in the Berry curvature, quantum metric, and quantum geometric connection. The Berry...
