abstract

$GdTe_{3}$ is a layered antiferromagnet which has attracted attention due to its exceptionally high mobility, distinctive unidirectional incommensurate charge density wave (CDW), superconductivity under pressure, and a cascade of magnetic transitions between 7 and 12 K, with as yet unknown order parameters. Here, we use spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy to directly image the charge and magnetic orders in $GdTe_{3}$. Below 7 K, we find a striped antiferromagnetic phase with twice the periodicity of the Gd lattice and perpendicular to the CDW. As we heat the sample, we discover a spin density wave with the same periodicity as the CDW between 7 and 12 K; the viability of this phase is supported by our Landau free energy model. Our work reveals the order parameters of the magnetic phases in $GdTe_{3}$ and shows how the interplay between charge and spin can generate a cascade of magnetic orders.

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Ginzburg-Landau model shows that a sublattice-antisymmetric charge density wave can gap a glide-protected nodal line, with the gap becoming complete as the CDW wave vector goes to zero.
