Second harmonic generation as a probe of broken mirror symmetry
The notion of spontaneous symmetry breaking has been used to describe phase transitions in a variety of physical systems. In crystalline solids, the breaking of certain symmetries, such as mirror symmetry, is difficult to detect unambiguously. Using 1T-TaS2, we demonstrate here that rotational-aniso...
