High field charge order across the phase diagram of YBa2Cu3Oy
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In hole-doped cuprates there is now compelling evidence that inside the pseudogap phase, charge order breaks translational symmetry. In YBa2Cu3O y charge order emerges in two steps: a 2D order found at zero field and at high temperature inside the pseudogap phase, and a 3D order that is superimposed below the superconducting transition Tc when superconductivity is weakened by a magnetic field. Several issues still need to be addressed such as the effect of disorder, the relationship between those charge orders and their respective impact on the Fermi surface. Here, we report high magnetic field sound velocity measurements of the 3D charge order in underdoped YBa2Cu3O y in a large doping range. We found that the 3D charge order exists over the same doping range as its 2D counterpart, indicating an intimate connection between the two distinct orders. Moreover, our data suggest that 3D charge order has only a limited impact on low-lying electronic states of YBa2Cu3O y .
