Abstract Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of SrPt2As2 reveals two incommensurate modulations appearing in the charge-density-wave (CDW) state below TCDW ≈ 470 K. These two structural modulations can be well explained in terms of condensations of two-coupled phonon modes with wave vectors of q1= 0.62a* on the a*-b* plane and q2= 0.23a* on the a*-c* plane. The atomic displacements occur along the b-axis direction for q1 and along the c-axis direction for q2, respectively. Moreover, the correlation between q1 and q2 can be generally written as q1= (q2+a*)/2 in the CDW state, suggesting the presence of essential coupling between q1 and q2. A small fraction of Ir doping on the Pt site in Sr(Pt1-xIrx)2As2 (x ≤ 0.06) could moderately change these CDW modulations and also affect their superconductivities.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
