Charge Ordering in High Temperature Superconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reasons to expect the formation of ordered or fluctuating charge stripes and antiphase spin domains in high temperature superconductors are surveyed. Evidence for such behavior is described, and some of the consequences for the physical properties of high temperature superconductors and the mechanism of superconductivity are presented.

Ubiquitous interplay between charge ordering and high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates.
Besides superconductivity, copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors are susceptible to other types of ordering. We used scanning tunneling microscopy and resonant elastic x-ray scattering measurements to establish the formation of charge ordering in the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+x). Depending on the hole concentration, the charge ordering in this system occurs with the...
متن کاملDimensional crossover in quasi-one-dimensional and high-Tc superconductors
The one-dimensional electron gas exhibits spin-charge separation and power-law spectral responses to many experimentally relevant probes. Ordering in a quasi-one-dimensional system is necessarily associated with a dimensional crossover, at which sharp quasiparticle peaks, with small spectral weight, emerge from the incoherent background. Using methods of Abelian bosonization, we derive asymptot...
متن کاملEvidence for local lattice fluctuations as a response function of the charge stripe order in the
We have used polarized Cu K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure to investigate the local lattice displacements in the charge-ordered La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 system. The temperature-dependent distance broadening, given by the Debye-Waller factors of the Cu-O bonds measuring local lattice fluctuations, shows a clear steplike increase below the charge stripe order temperature. The results ...
متن کاملMagic doping fractions for high-temperature superconductors.
We report hole-doping dependence of the in-plane resistivity rho(ab) in a cuprate superconductor La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4, carefully examined using a series of high-quality single crystals. Our detailed measurements find a tendency towards charge ordering at particular rational hole-doping fractions of 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, and 3/16. This observation appears to suggest a specific form of charge order and is...
متن کاملFluctuating Charge Order: A Universal Phenomenon in Unconventional Superconductivity?
Unconventional superconductors are characterized by various competing ordering phenomena in the normal state, such as antiferromagnetism, charge order, orbital order or nematicity. According to a widespread view, antiferromagnetic fluctuations are the dominant ordering phenomenon in cuprates and Fe based superconductors and are responsible for electron pairing. In contrast, charge order is beli...
