The quantum condensate of Cooper pairs forming a superconductor was originally
conceived as being translationally invariant. In theory, however, pairs can exist with finite …

The existence of electronic symmetry breaking in the underdoped cuprates and its
disappearance with increased hole density p are now widely reported. However, the relation …

The identity of the fundamental broken symmetry (if any) in the underdoped cuprates is
unresolved. However, evidence has been accumulating that this state may be an …

The competition between proximate electronic phases produces a complex phenomenology
in strongly correlated systems. In particular, fluctuations associated with periodic charge or …

We apply a recently developed method combining first principles based Wannier functions
with solutions to the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations to the problem of interpreting STM …

The pairing mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates is regarded as
one of the most challenging issues in condensed matter physics. The core issue concerns …

We propose a simple method of calculating inhomogeneous, atomic-scale phenomena in
superconductors which makes use of the wave function information traditionally discarded in …

The self-organization of strongly interacting electrons into superlattice structures underlies
the properties of many quantum materials. How these electrons arrange within the …

Traditionally, x-ray scattering techniques have been used to detect the breaking of the
structural symmetry of the lattice, which accompanies a periodic displacement of the atoms …

Many of today's forefront materials, such as high-Tc superconductors, doped
semiconductors, and colossal magnetoresistance materials, are structurally, chemically …
