Abstract
Recently discovered Higgs particle is a key element in the standard model of elementary particles and its analogue in materials, massive Higgs mode, has elucidated intriguing collective phenomena in a wide range of materials with spontaneous symmetry breaking such as antiferromagnets, cold atoms, superconductors, superfluids, and charge density waves (CDW). As a straightforward extension beyond the standard model, multiple Higgs particles have been considered theoretically but not yet for Higgs modes. Here, we report the real-space observations, which suggest two Higgs modes coupled together with a soliton lattice in a solid. Our scanning tunneling microscopy reveals the 1D CDW state of an anisotropic transition metal monochalcogenide crystal CuTe is composed of two distinct but degenerate CDW structures by the layer inversion symmetry broken. More importantly, the amplitudes of each CDW structure oscillate in an out-of-phase fashion to result in a regular array of alternating domains with repeating phase-shift domain walls. This unusual finding is explained by the extra degeneracy in CDWs within the standard Landau theory of the free energy. The multiple and entangled Higgs modes demonstrate how novel collective modes can emerge in systems with distinct symmetries broken simultaneously.

Introduction
Higgs particle1 was predicted in 1964 to provide a mechanism for the mass of a few important elementary particles but had been a crucial missing block in the standard model of particle physics until its observation in 2012. It is a bosonic quantum excitation from the Higgs scalar field, which has a Mexican-hat shape potential to break weak isospin symmetry of electroweak interaction. Collective bosonic excitations in a Mexican-hat potential can also arise in solid materials with spontaneously broken symmetry, which are called massive Higgs modes2. Studies on massive Higgs modes have elucidated intriguing collective phenomena in a wide range of materials with spontaneous symmetry breaking from ultracold atoms3,4,5 to superconductors6 and charge density wave (CDW) crystals7. For example, the observation of Higgs modes has revealed the existence of unprecedented CDW8, unusual pairing in cuprate superconductors9, and nonequilibrium properties of superconductors10. While most of those studies have focused on the identification of a single Higgs mode in each material system, the study of the interactions between Higgs modes and other collective modes is only in its infant stage11,12,13,14, and the existence of multiple Higgs modes and their interactions have never been accessed15,16. In contrast, the Higgs-to-Higgs interaction is an important test ground for the accuracy of the standard model and the existence of additional Higgs or Higgs-like boson is believed as a gateway to go beyond the standard model. This apparently suggests that the search for such higher-order Higgs interactions can open a route to unprecedented emerging phenomena also in solid systems such as the possible coupling of CDW and superconductor Higgs modes for unconventional superconductivity17.
In the present work, we report on the direct microscopic observation of two Higgs modes, the amplitude oscillations, coexisting to entangle mutually and further with a soliton lattice (phase mode) in a quasi-one-dimensional CDW crystal of CuTe, where the translational symmetry of the crystal is broken one-dimensionally and spontaneously at low temperature. Coexisting Higgs modes are rarely noticed in a solid system18 while the coupling of a Higgs mode and a phase mode has been predicted and indicated for CDW systems19 and superconductors20. The present theoretical works within the Landau mean-field framework reveal the complementary and oscillatory entanglements of two Higgs modes is a natural consequence of the doublet degeneracy in the CDW structures.
Results and discussion
Two degenerate CDW structures
CuTe is a van der Waals layered material and each layer is composed of a wiggled Cu layer sandwiched between two Te layers (Fig. 1a). It has an orthorhombic crystal structure (the Pmmn space group symmetry) and lattice constants of a = 3.149 Å, b = 4.086 Å, and c = 6.946 Å21,22. This crystal was recently found to undergo a symmetry-breaking phase transition below Tc = 335 K23. The low-temperature phase has an anisotropically distorted structure with a supercell of 5 × 1 × 2 and the photoelectron spectroscopy study identified a band-gap opening, which clearly indicates the CDW formation23 (See Supplementary Fig. 1 for our own measurements.). While the driving mechanism of CDW is not fully clear yet23,24, more recent works on this crystal identified pressure-induced superconductivity25, which is shared by many CDW materials26,27, and, to our own particular interest, an unusually stable Higgs mode, that is, an oscillatory mode of the CDW amplitude28,29.
We characterize this CDW structure and its amplitude fluctuations in atomic scale. The topographic imaging of a CuTe crystal with STM at 78.3 K, where the CDW gap completely opens, finds a well-ordered chain structure (along b-axis) as shown in Fig. 1b. These corrugations indicate that Te atomic rows of the topmost layer are transversely (along a-axis) modulated with a period of 5a0 due to the formation of CDW. However, a closer look into the STM image immediately tells that there exist two different corrugation patterns (Fig. 1b). In one pattern, one finds only one bright (higher height or larger local density of states) row in a 5 × 1 CDW unit cell (Fig. 1e) but, in the other, two bright rows (Fig. 1f). Two different CDW structures are called α and β hereafter and their overall areal ratio is close to 1:1 (Fig. 2). We optimize atomic structures of CuTe in a 5 × 1 × 2 unit cell through extensive DFT total energy calculations and find two distinct atomic structures shown in Fig. 1c as the most stable but energetically degenerated. In the α structure, the top Te rows are coupled transversely in a dimer-dimer-monomer fashion, which in turn forces the bottom Te rows beneath the monomer row to dimerize with the other three in a trimer. This bottom Te layer structure corresponds to the top layer in the other optimized structure of β. The detailed displacements of Te atoms indicate that α and β CDW in fact consist of the same vertical and horizontal components, which are coupled with different relative phase shifts (Fig. 1d). That is, the α and β structures are just the opposite faces (Te layers) of the same CDW distortions in the Cu layer, which indicates straightforwardly their energetic degeneracy. The simulated STM images of the DFT atomic structures also reproduce excellently the experimental images as seen in Fig. 1d. The bright protrusions in these empty state STM images (Fig. 1e, f) mainly correspond to the charge-depleted regions between dimers or between dimers and trimers. The charge-accumulated parts, the dimer and monomer chains, instead, appear bright in the filled state images.
Amplitude and phase fluctuations of degenerate CDWs
Degenerate CDW structures appear as coexisting domains as naturally expected but in an unexpected fashion. The bright and dark stripe domains of a width of about 20 nm appear alternatively and extend longitudinally (Fig. 2a), which correspond to the domains of α and β CDW structures, respectively (Fig. 2c). What is very important is that the CDW amplitude continuously varies to switch between α and β phases in a oscillatory pattern (Fig. 2b and c) with the total CDW order (the amount of distortion from the normal phase structure) stays constant (See Fig. 3b and Supplementary Fig. 10). Two CDW fluctuations are fitted excellently with Jacobi elliptic sine functions, which is the general solution of one-dimensional soliton lattices30,31. The average wavelength of the amplitude wave is λHiggs = 24 nm with the standard deviation 2.9 nm, which is sufficiently longer than the CDW wave length λCDW = 1.6 nm. The amplitude variation reaches roughly half of the maximal CDW amplitude (Fig. 3a). Moreover, if one measures the difference of the phase of CDW between neighboring α (or β) domains, one can get a constant phase shift of 3a0 or 6π/5 over the whole surface area measured (Fig. 3c). We thus can conclude that the two different CDW structures have their own amplitude oscillations, in other words, Higgs modes, which have the same wavelength but opposite phase. At the same time, these Higgs modes are coupled with phase-shift domain walls and are frozen into the CDW domain landscape indicating the formation of a soliton lattice. Similar degenerate CDW structures were observed in well-known quasi 2D CDW crystals of 2H-NbSe2 and 2H-TaSe232,33,34,35, which coexist as inhomogeneous domains with phase domain walls. These domains are however not regular and do not exhibit a continuous CDW amplitude variation. On the other hand, the nearly commensurate CDW phase of 1T-TaS2 with a regular 2D domain wall network was previously attributed to an amplitude mode36,37. However, the domain wall lattice of two distinct CDWs or the two CDW amplitude modes is unique. The present system is thus unconventional in a sense that the CDW ground state is composed of Higgs and phase modes.
Origin of the domain formation with two Higgs and one phase modes entangled
The origin of the emergence of unusual Higgs and phase modes can be explained by the phenomenological theory. We use a well-established Landau-Ginzburg model with two period-5 CDW order parameters, {ϕα(x), ϕβ(x)}. Under the lattice translation, they have a 5-fold degeneracy as \({{\mathbb{Z}}}_{5}:{\phi }_{j}\to {\phi }_{j}{e}^{2\pi i/5}\). At the same time, they are mapped to each other by the layer-inversion symmetry (more precisely, the mirror glide symmetry) \({{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}:{\phi }_{\alpha }\leftrightarrow {\phi }_{\beta }\), which corresponds to α and β CDW structures. Hence, our theory has the \({{\mathbb{Z}}}_{5}\times {{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}\) symmetry, whose free energy density is given by
Here, c. c. is the complex conjugate and the coefficients {K, a, b, d ⋯} are in general functions of external parameters, whose detailed values are irrelevant to our main conclusion. We will set K = 1 for convenience and d > 0 to make the free energy bounded below the CDW transition temperature, a(T) ∝ (T − TCDW) < 023. Since the experiment indicates the spontaneous breaking of the \({{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}\) symmetry in the ground states, i.e., it is either in the α or β CDW state (Fig. 4a), g4 should be large and positive so that two CDWs repel each other. Furthermore, the sum of the amplitudes is experimentally found to be almost constant in space (See Fig. 3b, and Supplementary Fig. 10) and hence we impose ∣ϕα(x)∣ + ∣ϕβ(x)∣ = A0 > 0. This simply means that the total charge per unit cell should be shared between α and β states. In order to generate oscillating solutions within the finite-size simulation, we set boundary conditions; the system is exclusively in the α (β) CDW state at x = 0 (at the other end), that is, ∣ϕα∣ = A0, ∣ϕβ∣ = 0 (∣ϕα∣ = 0, ∣ϕβ∣ = A0) corresponding to the red (green) circle in the free energy landscape in Fig. 4a, b and c. Then, the equations of motion derived from the free energy Eq. (1) is solved numerically (See Supplementary Information for a detailed description) to yield the oscillations of both amplitudes and phases in consistency with the experimental data (Fig. 4e and f). In particular, two CDW orders crossover each other smoothly, and their amplitudes oscillate with the π phase shift, and domain walls occur when the dominant CDW orders are changed from α → β or β → α.
Heuristically, the oscillations of amplitudes can be understood from the free energy landscape (dashed lines in Fig. 4a, b), which is similar to the well-known behaviors of the real scalar ϕ4 theory30,31,38. The energy landscape of this theory is generated by the potential \(V(\phi )\propto {({\phi }^{2}-{\langle \phi \rangle }^{2})}^{2}\) whose ground states are ϕ = ±〈ϕ〉 and the excited state is known as the soliton lattice solution. This solution essentially describes a particle moving along the potential − V(ϕ), which starts from the point slightly below one hill (one ground state) and ends at the other counterpart (the other ground state) (Fig. 4c). The time evolution of the particle corresponds to the spatial evolution of ϕ(x) (See Fig. 4d). In our case, the amplitude oscillations in space are generated by the system’s trajectory between the two ground states labeled by (〈ϕα〉 ≠ 0, 〈ϕβ〉 = 0) and (〈ϕα〉 = 0, 〈ϕβ〉 ≠ 0). When the amplitude of the CDW is relaxed, the phase of the CDW can fluctuate easily and thus experience the domain walls, where the corresponding order parameter almost vanishes, to yield the intertwined phase and amplitude oscillations (Fig. 4e, f). This phenomenon has been predicted for a single CDW amplitude mode19 but its material realization has been elusive. The present case corresponds to its non-trivial extension to two competing CDWs since the two amplitude modes are entangled with one phase mode. As noted above, this unconventional CDW originates from the extra symmetry breaking to lead to the \({{\mathbb{Z}}}_{5}\times {{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}\) symmetry.
While our observation is limited to the spatial variations of amplitude and phase modes, their connection to dynamical modes is not excluded. If one includes the time-derivative terms in theory, they naturally exhibit temporal oscillations31,39. We can further note that the amplitude modes and the soliton lattice seem to be laterally pinned by atomic scale defects in the present system (See Supplementary Fig. 11). On the other hand, the recent optical measurements observed the amplitude mode as excited by laser pulses28,29. The dynamics of the present amplitude and phase variations are however not directly observed in the present work and invite further study at an elevated temperature.
Our study presents the STM experiments to map the amplitude and phase modulations of quasi-one-dimensional CDWs in CuTe. Dual Higgs (amplitude) modes entangled mutually and with the soliton lattice (phase mode) are discovered and its microscopic description within the standard mean-field theory is obtained. While the competing coexistence of superconducting and CDW amplitude modes was observed previously18, the entangled dual Higgs modes and the direct observation of the Higgs and phase modes entangled have not been reported. The extra degeneracy of the energetically equivalent CDW structures plays a key role in the emergence of entangled collective modes. We further expect that the presented mechanism can be extended to other systems with multiple competing ground states to discover novel composites of collective modes. In particular, the interactions between Higgs and phases modes can unravel spatial variations of domains and domain walls, which are ubiquitous in various CDW phases of transition metal chalcogenides.
Methods
Crystal growth
Single crystals of CuTe were grown by typical self-flux methods under Te-rich compositions. Copper powder (99.999%, Alfa Aesar) and Te pieces (99.999%, Alfa Aesar) were put in the alumina crucible with a frit disc, then sealed in Ar-gas purged evacuated quartz tube. The quartz ampule was heated at 600 °C for 12 h, then slowly cooled down to 450–350 °C for 1–2 °C per hour. Then, the ampule was centrifuged to separate the single crystal from the flux. The single crystal structure and purity was checked by x-ray diffraction (See Supplementary Fig. 13).
STM measurements
A commercial cryogenic STM (Unisoku, Japan) is used for STM and STS experiments. CuTe crystal is cleaved at the pressure below 5 × 10−10 torr to obtain clean surface layers. All measurements were performed at 78.3 K using platinum-iridium tips cut mechanically. The STM topographies are modified with a 2D-FFT and mean-value correction to reduce a high-frequency noise and tilting of the crystal.
Computations
DFT calculations were carried out using the Vienna ab-initio simulation package, at the level of generalized-gradient approximation (GGA)40,41. We used the projector augmented wave method for the description of the core-valence interaction. The van der Waals (vdW) interaction has been taken into account by DFT-D3 method with Becke-Jonson damping42. The cutoff energy was set as 400 eV. For structural relaxations, the k-point samplings of Brillouin zones used Γ-centered k meshes of size 20 × 16 × 8 and 4 × 16 × 4 for the non-CDW and the CDW structure, respectively. The energy and force convergence criteria were set to be 10−6 eV and 0.01 eV/Å, respectively.
We also performed the GGA + U calculations to account for the electron correlation in Cu d orbitals with the Dudarev method43. The modulated CDW structure becomes stable when the Coulomb correlation for Cu d orbitals is considered. The hybridization between Te and Cu states is reduced when the on-site Coulomb interaction for the Cu d states are included, which is consistent with the previous DFT result of Kim et al.24. We have adopted Ueff = U − J = 9 eV, which gives 39 meV energy gain for the CDW phase and 0.2 Å asymmetry in interatomic distance between nearest neighbor Te atoms (\({{{{{{{{\rm{d}}}}}}}}}_{\max }=3.18\) Å, \({{{{{{{{\rm{d}}}}}}}}}_{\min }=2.99\) Å).
Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements
We performed the temperature-dependent ARPES measurements at Beamline 4A2 of the Pohang Light Source with a DA-30-L analyzer (Omicron-Scienta). Samples were cleaved in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber at a temperature of 75 K and then heated to temperatures of 205, 310, 330, and 350 K. We used linearly polarized undulator photon beam of an energy of 80 eV in Supplementary Fig. 1a and 100 eV in Supplementary Fig. 1b–g.
