Evidence for local lattice fluctuations as a response function of the charge stripe order in the

چکیده
We have used polarized Cu K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure to investigate the local lattice displacements in the charge-ordered La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 system. The temperature-dependent distance broadening, given by the Debye-Waller factors of the Cu-O bonds measuring local lattice fluctuations, shows a clear steplike increase below the charge stripe order temperature. The results construct a direct evidence for the local lattice fluctuations as a response function of the charge stripe ordering in the cuprate superconductors.

Spin excitations in fluctuating stripe phases of doped cuprate superconductors.
Using a phenomenological lattice model of coupled spin and charge modes, we determine the spin susceptibility in the presence of fluctuating stripe charge order. We assume the charge fluctuations to be slow compared to those of the spins, and combine Monte Carlo simulations for the charge order parameter with exact diagonalization of the spin sector. Our calculations unify the spin dynamics of ...
متن کاملNoise predictions for STM in systems with local electron nematic order
We propose that thermal noise in local stripe orientation should be readily detectable via STM on systems in which local stripe orientations are strongly affected by quenched disorder. Stripes, a unidirectional, nanoscale modulation of electronic charge, are strongly affected by quenched disorder in two-dimensional and quasitwo-dimensional systems. While stripe orientations tend to lock to majo...
متن کاملDouble-stage nematic bond ordering above double stripe magnetism: Application to BaTi2Sb2O
Spin-driven nematicity, or the breaking of the point-group symmetry of the lattice without long-range magnetic order, is clearly quite important in iron-based superconductors. From a symmetry point of view, nematic order can be described as a coherent locking of spin fluctuations in two interpenetrating Néel sublattices with ensuing nearest-neighbor bond order and an absence of static magnetism...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking by charge stripes in the high pressure phase of superconducting La1.875Ba0.125CuO4.
In those cases where charge-stripe order has been observed in cuprates, the crystal structure is such that the average rotational symmetry of the CuO2 planes is reduced from fourfold to twofold. As a result, one could argue that the reduced lattice symmetry is essential to the existence of stripe order. We use pressure to restore the average fourfold symmetry in a single crystal of La1.875Ba0.1...

Quantum phases and fluctuations in correlated electron systems with frustration and competing interactions are reviewed. In the localized moment case the S=1/2 J1 - J2 - model on a square lattice exhibits a rich phase diagram with magnetic as well as exotic hidden order phases due to the interplay of frustration and quantum fluctuations. Their signature in magnetocaloric quantities and the hig...
