Title: Disorder-induced suppression of charge density wave order: STM study of Pd-intercalated ${ErTe}_{3}$

Abstract

Pd-intercalated ErTe3 is studied as a model system to explore the effect of increasing disorder on an incommensurate two-component charge density wave (CDW). The ordering vectors of the CDW components lie along the two in-plane principal axes of the nearly tetragonal crystal structure. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we show that introducing Pd intercalants (i.e., disorder) induces CDW dislocations, which appear to be associated with each CDW component separately. Increasing Pd concentration has a stronger effect on the secondary CDW order, manifested in a higher density of dislocations, and thus increases the anisotropy (nematic character) of the CDW. Suggestive evidence of Bragg glass phases at weak disorder is also discussed.

Suppression of charge density wave order by disorder in Pd-intercalated ${ErTe}_{3}$

Journal Article Straquadine, J. A. W. ; Weber, F. ; Rosenkranz, S. ; ... - Physical Review B

Disorder is generically anticipated to suppress long range charge density wave (CDW) order. We report transport, thermodynamic, and scattering experiments on Pd _xErTe ₃, a model CDW system with disorder induced by intercalation. The pristine parent compound (x=0) shows two separate, mutually perpendicular, incommensurate unidirectional CDW phases setting in at 270 K and 165 K. In this work we present measurements on a finely-spaced series of single crystal samples, in which we track the suppression of signatures corresponding to these two parent transitions as the Pd concentration increases. At the largest values of x, we observe complete suppression of longmore »« less

Observation of a Charge Density Wave Incommensuration Near the Superconducting Dome in ${Cu}_{x} {TiSe}_{2}$

Journal Article Kogar, A. ; de la Pena, G. A. ; Lee, Sangjun ; ... - Physical Review Letters

X-ray diffraction was employed to study the evolution of the charge density wave (CDW) in Cu _xTiSe ₂ as a function of copper intercalation in order to clarify the relationship between the CDW and superconductivity. In this paper, the results show a CDW incommensuration arising at an intercalation value coincident with the onset of superconductivity at around x = 0.055(5) . Additionally, it was found that the charge density wave persists to higher intercalant concentrations than previously assumed, demonstrating that the CDW does not terminate inside the superconducting dome. A charge density wave peak was observed in samples up tomore »« less

Scaling behavior of low-temperature orthorhombic domains in the prototypical high-temperature superconductor ${La}_{1.875} {Ba}_{0.125} {CuO}_{4}$

Journal Article Assefa, T. A. ; Cao, Y. ; Diao, J. ; ... - Physical Review B

Structural symmetry breaking and recovery in condensed-matter systems are closely related to exotic physical properties such as superconductivity (SC), magnetism, spin density waves, and charge density waves (CDWs). The interplay between different order parameters is intricate and often subject to intense debate, as in the case of CDW order and superconductivity. In La _1.875Ba _0.125CuO ₄ (LBCO), the low-temperature structural domain walls are hypothesized as nanometer-scale pinning sites for the CDWs. Coherent x-ray diffraction techniques have been employed here to visualize the domain structures associated with these symmetry changes directly during phase transition. We have pushed Bragg coherent diffractive imagingmore »« less

Structural and magnetic phase transitions in ${CeCu}_{6 - x} T_{x}$ $(T = Ag, Pd)$

Journal Article Poudel, L. ; de la Cruz, C. ; Payzant, E. A. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The structural and the magnetic properties of CeCu6-xAgx (0≤x≤0.85) and CeCu6-xPdx (0≤x≤0.4) have been studied using neutron diffraction, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS), x-ray diffraction measurements, and first principles calculations. The structural and magnetic phase diagrams of CeCu6-xAgx and CeCu6-xPdx as a function of Ag/Pd composition are reported. The end member, CeCu6, undergoes a structural phase transition from an orthorhombic (Pnma) to a monoclinic (P21/c) phase at 240 K. In CeCu6-xAgx, the structural phase transition temperature (Ts) decreases linearly with Ag concentration and extrapolates to zero at xS ≈0.1. The structural transition in CeCu6-xPdx remains unperturbed with Pd substitution within themore »« less

Synchrotron x-ray scattering study of charge-density-wave order in ${HgBa}_{2} {CuO}_{4 + δ}$

Journal Article Tabis, W. ; Yu, B. ; Bialo, I. ; ... - Physical Review B

We present a detailed synchrotron x-ray scattering study of the charge-density-wave (CDW) order in simple tetragonal HgBa2CuO4+delta (Hg1201). Resonant soft x-ray scattering measurements reveal that short-range order appears at a temperature that is distinctly lower than the pseudogap temperature and in excellent agreement with a prior transient reflectivity result. Despite considerable structural differences between Hg1201 and YBa2Cu3O6+delta, the CDWcorrelations exhibit similar doping dependencies, and we demonstrate a universal relationship between the CDWwave vector and the size of the reconstructed Fermi pocket observed in quantum oscillation experiments. The CDWcorrelations in Hg1201 vanish already below optimal doping, once the correlation length ismore »« less
