Discovery of an intermediate nematic state in a bilayer kagome metal ScV6Sn6

Abstract Nematicity, spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in correlated quantum matter. Here we show a phase transition in high-quality ScV6Sn6 bilayer kagome metal at a temperature $${T}^{*}$$ T * , occurring seven Kelvins below the charge density wave transition...
