The incommensurately modulated scheelite-like KSm(MoO(4))(2) structure has been refined in the monoclinic superspace group I2/b(alphabeta0)00 by the Rietveld method on the basis of synchrotron radiation powder diffraction data. The systematic broadening of satellite reflections has been accounted for by applying anisotropic microstrain line-broadening. The microstructure has been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The partial disorder of the K and Sm cations in the A position is best approximated by a combination of harmonic and complex crenel functions with (0.952Sm + 0.048K) and (0.952K + 0.048Sm) atomic domains. This combination yields a compositional wave distribution from {KMoO(4)} to {SmMoO(4)} observed in the ab structure projection along q. The specific features of KSm(MoO(4))(2) and degree of the A-cation ordering are discussed in comparison with the previously reported structure of KNd(MoO(4))(2).

Lead-based antiferroelectric (AFE) ceramics have the advantages of high power density, fast charge and discharge speed, and the electric-field-induced AFE-FE phase transition, making them one of the potential dielectric energy storage materials. However, the energy storage density still needs to be improved. In this work, (PbCa) (ZrSn)O (PCZS, = 0.

Charge-density waves (CDWs) are correlated states of matter, in which the electronic density is modulated periodically due to electronic and phononic interactions. Often, CDW phases coexist with other correlated states, such as superconductivity, spin-density waves, or Mott insulators. Controlling CDW phases may, therefore, enable the manipulation of the energy landscape of these interacting states.

We study dynamical localization in an ultracold atom confined in an optical lattice that is simultaneously shaken by two competing pulsatile modulations with different amplitudes, periods, and waveforms. The effects of finite-width time pulses, modulation waveforms, and commensurable and incommensurable driving periods are investigated. We describe a particularly complex scenario and conclude that dynamical localization can survive, or even increase, when a periodic modulation is replaced by a quasiperiodic one of equal amplitude.

Article Synopsis
- High-temperature superconducting cuprates exhibit unique patterns of spin and charge orders that interact with superconductivity in complex ways.
- Research using advanced quantum Monte Carlo simulations reveals that these patterns change differently depending on the material and temperature, particularly with varying charge transfer energy and doping levels.
- The study concludes that charge modulations become less correlated with spin modulations as doping increases, aligning with experimental results, and suggests that high-temperature charge correlations differ from low-temperature stripe orders.

Article Synopsis
- Van der Waals (vdW) crystals with strong spin-orbit coupling are key for discovering unique 2D superconductors, where new pairing states arise from the combination of various factors like SOC and crystal structure.
- The study highlights a mirror-symmetry protected Ising pairing state in a heterostructure of SnSe and TaSe, where the arrangement of the lattice helps minimize interference from certain pairing mechanisms.
- The findings indicate that these vdW heterostructures can enhance the critical temperature under specific magnetic fields, which does not occur in other multilayer configurations due to a loss of mirror symmetry.
