Atomic-Scale Tracking of Topological Defect Motion and Incommensurate Charge Order Melting by Noah Schnitzer, Berit H. Goodge, Gregory Powers, Jaewook Kim, Sang-Wook Cheong, Ismail El Baggari, Lena F. Kourkoutis

“…Charge order pervades the phase diagrams of quantum materials where it competes with superconducting and magnetic phases, hosts electronic phase transitions and topological defects, and couples to the lattice generating intricate structural distortions. Incommensurate charge order is readily stabilized in manganese oxides, where it is associated with anomalous electronic and magnetic properties, but its nanoscale structural inhomogeneity complicates precise characterization and understanding of its relationship with competing phases. …”

Dynamical Signatures of Trumpler 19: A Statistical and Photometric Perspective by A. H. Sheikh, Biman J. Medhi, Ram Sagar

“…The mass function of the cluster shows a flatter slope, indicating strong mass segregation and advanced dynamical evolution. We fitted the radial surface density profile and found that the concentration parameter c > 1, suggesting that the cluster has formed a clear core–halo structure as a result of dynamical evolution. …”
