Strain amplification of the 4k${}_F$ chain charge instability in Sr${}_{14}$Cu${}_{24}$O${}_{41}$

A. Rusydi, P. Abbamonte, H. Eisaki +7

We have used resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) to study the misfit strain in Sr${}_{14}$Cu${}_{24}$O${}_{41}$ (SCO), a cuprate that contains both doped spin ladders and spin chains,…
