Transverse Peierls Transition

We propose a new type of spontaneous symmetry breaking phase caused by softening of the transverse acoustic phonon modes through electron-phonon coupling. These new phases include the shear density wave and self-twisting wave, which are caused by softening of linearly and circularly polarized acoust...
