Fluctuating stripes at the onset of the pseudogap in the high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x

Charge density wave in layeredLa1−xCexSb2

“…This shows that the substitutional disorder enhances the CDW feature but eliminates the linear magnetoresistance. Finally, regarding superconductivity, let us note that the influence of CDWs on superconductivity has been discussed in the cuprates to some extent [57][58][59]. It has been argued that fluctuating CDWs can coexist with high-T C superconductivity, whereas static CDW has a tendency to compete with superconducting correlations [60].…”

“Checkerboard Stripe” Electronic State on Cleaved Surface of NdO0.7F0.3BiS2 Probed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

“…Another example is the high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides 10 and iron-pnictides 11 . The superconductivity in these materials often coexists with or emerges in the proximity of some electronic ordered states [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] , which break the C 4 -symmetry of the underlying crystal lattice. Explorations of the relation between SC and the electronic ordered states have offered interesting information for understanding of the mechanisms of unconventional superconductivity.…”

“…Additionally, this technique has made a significant contribution not only to visualize the CDW 3,6 and other electronic ordered states 13,14,16,17 but also to disentangle the relationship between the superconductivity and the electronic ordered states.…”

Quasiparticle interference and the interplay between superconductivity and density wave order in the cuprates

“…32 In addition to dispersing octet q-vectors from superconducting QPI, static quasi-periodic "checkerboard" modulations have been observed in both the superconducting and pseudogap phases. 13,15,[17][18][19][21][22][23][24]26,27 Although the origin of these modulations remains unknown, there has been much discussion about their relation to a possible DW order in the pseudogap phase; scenarios that have been proposed include orbital current induced d-density waves, 33 one dimensional stripes, 34 nematic order, 35 short range charge order connected to nested parts of the Fermi surface in antinodal regions, 23,[36][37][38] and disorder-induced charge orders. 39 We present a detailed study of what can be learned from the Z-map in superconducting, DW, and coexisting phases.…”

“…1,8,9 STS has revealed that the cuprates have a spatially inhomogeneous electronic structure, including modulations in the LDOS and superconducting gap magnitude. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] In the d-wave superconducting phase, the LDOS modulations can arise from quasiparticle interference (QPI), due to the scattering of wave-like quasiparticles off impurities. 12,15,22,[25][26][27] The wavevectors of the modulations can be determined from the Fourier transform of the LDOS.…”
