Unconventional charge order in a co-doped high-Tc superconductor
Abstract
Understanding of how charge stripe order emerges in cuprates remains elusive. Here, Pelc et al. report the discovery of a charge nematic phase between charge-stripe order and pseudogap state in La1.8-xEu0.2SrxCuO4, resolving the process of charge stripe development in cuprates.
