Stripe Order in the Metallic and Superconducting Phases of Rhombohedral Hexalayer Graphene

Le résumé fourni par la source

In strongly correlated electronic systems, Coulomb interactions frequently give rise to emergent electronic orders that spontaneously break rotational symmetry. Understanding how such symmetry breaking intertwines with other collective phenomena-such as unconventional superconductivity-and how it shapes experimental observables, particularly transport responses, remains a central challenge in modern condensed-matter physics. Here we report experimental signatures of charge stripe order, with a transport anisotropy rivaling that of quantum Hall stripe phases, coexisting with superconductivity and magnetism in rhombohedral hexalayer graphene. Strikingly, the low-temperature superconducting state not only inherits strong anisotropy but also exhibits a wide range of hysteretic transitions arising from the tunability of the underlying stripe order. Together, these findings reveal a previously unrecognized coexistence between superconductivity and charge stripe, shedding new light on the role of rotational symmetry breaking in shaping unconventional superconductivity in rhombohedral graphene.
