Structure and electron behavior in kagome metals

Caption

Structure and electron behavior in kagome metals: (A) The triangular atomic arrangement showing how tiny electrical currents flow in loops. (B) How electrons organize into wave-like density patterns. (C) How electrons normally move through the material. (D) How electron movement is affected by the wave patterns. (E) The special combined state where both loop currents and wave patterns exist together, creating the conditions for magnetic switching.
