Title: Fragile charge order in the nonsuperconducting ground state of the underdoped high-temperature superconductors

Abstract

Significance Results from quantum oscillation and spectroscopic measurements have suggested charge order as responsible for the creation of a nodal electron pocket in the YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6 + δ and HgBa 2 Cu O 4 + δ families of underdoped cuprates. However, the situation in the pristine YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 family remains ambiguous. Our high-precision quantum oscillation measurements point to a very similar nodal electron pocket in the stoichiometric cuprate family YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 , despite the nonobservation of charge order signatures in diffraction experiments. Our findings in YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 indicate Fermi surface reconstruction in the hole underdoped cuprates associated with the magnetic field enhancement of charge order, the fragile low-magnetic field character of which is reflected in the short correlation length reported in various materials families.
