Direct High-Magnetic-Field Coupling to Stripe Order in a Cuprate Superconductor

Leonardo Martinelli, Izabela Biało, Jens Oppliger +47

Superconductivity in cuprates emerges out of a complex normal state that hosts density waves, pseudogap physics, and strange metal properties. Here, we access this normal state by…
