In 1T-TaS2, the nearly-commensurate charge density wave (NC-CDW) exhibits emergent chirality, a property of interest for technological applications such as memory. We study the relationship between chirality and topological defects using holographic analysis of scanning tunneling microscopy data. By characterizing the CDW order parameter, we uncover distinct topological defects and define a chiral order parameter that connects directly to them. Our analysis distinguishes between vortex pairs in high-strain areas and glass-like soliton or discommensurations networks. We propose that perturbations, such as strain, drive vortex nucleation and annihilation, leaving solitons or discommensurations pinned by disorder. Electric fields induce soliton and discommensurations movement, causing chiral switching via localized order parameter melting, enabling controllable room-temperature chirality

Visualizing the interplay of Dirac mass gap and magnetism at nanoscale in intrinsic magnetic topological insulators
在内禀磁性拓扑绝缘体中，狄拉克表面态能隙是量子反常霍尔态和轴子绝缘态的先决条件。然而，要在非纳米比亚实验性的基础上确定这些差距，已证明是一项挑战。在这里，我们使用分子束外延生长本征MnBi_2 Te_4薄膜。使用扫描隧道显微镜/光谱，我们直接可视化狄拉克质量间隙和它的消失低于和高于磁序温度。我们进一步揭示了狄拉克质量间隙和局部磁缺陷的相互作用。我们发现，在高缺陷区，狄拉克质量间隙崩溃。从头算和耦合狄拉克锥模型计算提供了深入了解缺陷密度和空间间隙变化之间的相关性的微观起源。该工作提供了明确的识别的狄拉克质量间隙在MnBi 2 Te 4，并通过揭示其间隙变化的微观起源，建立了一个材料设计原则，实现奇异态的内禀磁性拓扑绝缘体。
