The effect of polarized violet light on the alignment and the heliconical pitch of a liquid crystal dimer containing both sulfur atoms and an azo linkage has been studied by tender resonant x-ray scattering. The results provide evidence of the manipulation of the nanoscale heliconical structure by polarized light. In addition to the bulk alignment of the heliconical nanostructure, the value of the heliconical pitch can be varied as well. After turning the light on, an increase of the pitch is observed in two steps. The increase with a subsecond timescale is attributed to the reduced heliconical order related to trans-cis photoisomerization. This is followed by a smaller increase over a 10-s timescale, which is likely related to the annihilation of defects. After turning the light off, the pitch first decreases within a few seconds to a value larger than the original (before illumination), and then relaxes further on a much longer (hours) timescale.

The two-dimensional material Cr2Ge2Te6 is a member of the class of insulating van der Waals (vdW) magnets. Here, using high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in a detailed temperature dependence study, we identify a clear response of the electronic structure to a dimensional crossover in the form of two distinct temperature scales marking onsets of modifications in the electronic structure. Specifically, we observe Te p-orbital-dominated bands to undergo changes at the Curie transition temperature TC while the Cr d-orbital-dominated bands begin evolving at a higher temperature scale. Combined with neutron scattering, density functional theory calculations, and Monte Carlo simulations, we find that the electronic system can be consistently understood to respond sequentially to the distinct temperatures at which in-plane and out-of-plane spin correlations exceed a characteristic length scale. Our findings reveal the sensitivity of the orbital-selective electronic structure for probing the dynamical evolution of local moment correlations in vdW insulating magnets.

In the iron-based superconductors, unconventional superconductivity emerges in proximity to intertwined electronic orders consisting of an electronic nematic order and a spin density wave (SDW). Recently, BaNi2As2, like its well-known iron-based analog BaFe2As2, has been discovered to host a symmetry-breaking structural transition but coupled to a unidirectional charge density wave (CDW) instead of SDW, providing a novel platform to study intertwined orders. Here, through a systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study combined with a detwinning B1g uniaxial strain, we identify distinct spectral evidence of band evolution due to the structural transition as well as CDW-induced band folding. In contrast to the nematicity and spin density wave in BaFe2As2, the structural and CDW order parameters in BaNi2As2 are observed to be strongly coupled and do not separate in the presence of uniaxial strain. Furthermore, no nematic band splitting is resolved above the structural transition. Our measurements point to a likely lattice origin of the CDW order in BaNi2As2.
