Abstract

Charge ordering and superconductivity are known to compete in layered cuprates; however, precise real-space characterization of their interplay has been lacking. Here, the authors address this using atomically-resolved cross-sectional scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy on cryogenically cleaved YBa2Cu3O6.81.
