Enhanced charge density wave with mobile superconducting vortices in La1.885Sr0.115CuO4
Abstract
Superconductivity in the cuprates is known to be intertwined with charge and spin density waves. Here, the authors study the prototypical cuprate La1.885Sr0.115CuO4 via x-ray scattering and discover a sudden increase in the charge-density-wave amplitude upon entering the superconducting-vortex-liquid state at high magnetic field.
