Kagome materials have become a popular platform to investigate a range of competing quantum phases, such as the interplay between superconductivity and charge density waves (CDW). Here, the authors use x-ray diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy and resonant elastic x-ray scattering to investigate the evolution of CDW ordering as a function of temperature in canted antiferromagnetic kagome FeGe. They find for post-annealed samples that the long-range CDW orders persist even as the structural modulations are suppressed although observations are highly dependent on the sample growth condition.
