New charge order seen in a kagome superconductor (IMAGE)
Caption
Schematic of the new type of charge order seen in a kagome superconductor material with topological band-structure. The dark and light blue spheres form the kagome lattice, named for its resemblance to a Japanese woven basket pattern. The shade of the color represents the partial distribution of the charge. The distributed colors in the lattice illustrate the unexpected ordering pattern with chirality or handedness as determined by the experiment.
