Atomic-scale visualization of chiral charge density wave superlattices and their reversible switching
Single-layer NbSe2 has a charge density wave with two degenerate domains, related by mirror reflection. Here, using scanning tunneling microscopy, the authors observe the time-dependent movement of domain walls, and demonstrate reversible switching between the two domain types using a voltage pulse...

| description | Single-layer NbSe2 has a charge density wave with two degenerate domains, related by mirror reflection. Here, using scanning tunneling microscopy, the authors observe the time-dependent movement of domain walls, and demonstrate reversible switching between the two domain types using a voltage pulse from the microscope tip. |
