Abstract

The relationship between electronic ordering and superconductivity, crucial to understand high-Tc superconductors, remains elusive. Here, Sun et al. report the pressure-induced dome shape of a magnetic phase superceding the nematic order in FeSe, suggesting competing nature between magnetism and superconductivity.
