Tuning of charge order by uniaxial stress in a cuprate superconductor

L. Thomarat, F. Elson, et al.

Dive into the fascinating world of superconductivity! This research by Laure Thomarat and colleagues explores how uniaxial stress can enhance 3D superconductivity in La2-xBaxCuO4 while intriguingly maintaining charge stripes. Discover the delicate balance between charge order and superconductivity that might reshape our understanding of these materials.

Abstract
This research investigates the interplay between charge order and superconductivity in the cuprate superconductor La2-xBaxCuO4 using X-ray diffraction and uniaxial stress. The study finds that uniaxial stress reduces charge order peaks and correlation length, leading to optimal 3D superconductivity without completely eliminating charge stripes. This suggests that the arrangement of charge stripes into smaller regions is crucial for enhanced superconductivity.
