Abstract

External perturbations can induce 3D charge order in cuprates, but the 3D correlation length is limited and the mechanism is not well understood. Ruiz et al. show that Pr substitution in YBa2Cu3O7 enhances interplanar orbital coupling and stabilizes coherent 3D charge order that coexists with superconductivity.
