A charge-density-wave topological semimetal
E-Mail IMAGE: X-ray diffraction intensities recorded in the vicinity of the (620,000) main reflection of the charge-density-wave (CDW) phase of the topological Weyl semimetal (TaSe4)2I. Small (red) indices label satellite reflections.

Scientists from the Max Planck Institutes for Microstructure Physics (Halle) and for Chemical Physics of Solids (Dresden) have now disco...
