Research paperExperimental CharacterizationVersatile electronic phases enabled by intertwined multiple frustrations in antiferromagnetic two-dimensional semimetalsY. Fujisawa, P. Wu, T. Nakamura, R. Okuma et al.2025·10.1038/s41467-026-75048-y·arXiv:2507.00750AbstractUsing scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy at 300 mK, we uncover multiple competing electronic states in the van der Waals metal CeTe3: charge-ordered antiferromagnetic phases forming stripe and checkerboard orders. Their competition is tuned by a modest in-plane magnetic field (~1.5 T), revealing intertwined frustrations involving antiferromagnetism, charge order, and Fermi-surface instabilities. Quasiparticle-interference imaging identifies the momentum-space origin of these competitions, and the observations reveal an unusually broad electronic reconstruction extending to roughly ±30 meV from EF.Read more
