Calls to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and demands for higher energy efficiency
continue to drive research into alternative cooling and refrigeration technologies. The caloric …

The spontaneous reduction of rotational symmetry in a crystalline solid driven by an
electronic mechanism is referred to as electronic nematicity. This phenomenon—initially …

One of the main developments in unconventional superconductivity in the past two decades
has been the discovery that most unconventional superconductors form phase diagrams that …

Over the past approximately 10 years, it has become routine to use piezoelectric actuators to
apply large anisotropic stresses to correlated electron materials. Elastic strains exceeding …

Strontium ruthenate Sr 2 RuO 4 is an unconventional superconductor whose pairing
symmetry has not been fully clarified, despite more than two decades of intensive research …

Electronic nematicity is a state of matter in which rotational symmetry is spontaneously
broken and translational symmetry is preserved. In strongly correlated materials, nematicity …

Ever since the discovery of the charge density wave (CDW) transition in the kagome metal
CsV 3 Sb 5, the nature of its symmetry breaking has been under intense debate. While …

Adiabatic decompression of paraquadrupolar materials has significant potential as a
cryogenic cooling technology. We focus on TmVO 4, an archetypal material that undergoes …

The adiabatic elastocaloric effect measures the temperature change of a given system with
strain and provides a thermodynamic probe of the entropic landscape in the temperature …

During the last decade, translational and rotational symmetry-breaking phases—density
wave order and electronic nematicity—have been established as generic and distinct …
