Opening a nodal gap by fluctuating spin-density-wave in lightly doped La${}_{2-x}$Sr${}_x$CuO${}_4$

Itzik Kapon, David S. Ellis, Gil Drachuck +6

We investigate whether the spin or charge degrees of freedom are responsible for the nodal gap in underdoped cuprates by performing inelastic neutron scattering and x-ray diffracti…
