Phase crystals
Superconductivity owes its properties to the phase of the electron pair condensate that breaks the U(1) symmetry. In the most traditional ground state, the phase is uniform and rigid. The normal state can be unstable towards special inhomogeneous superconducting states: the Abrikosov vortex state an...
