Ultrafast core-level spectroscopy reveals elusive precursors of exciton condensation in quantum materials
Many fascinating phases in quantum materials emerge when electrons, atoms and other microscopic components begin to act collectively. But these phases do not necessarily appear out of nowhere when a material crosses a transition temperature. Before long-range order develops, microscopic fluctuations can already be present.
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
