Title: Static charge-density-wave order in the superconducting state of La 2 - x Ba x CuO 4

Abstract

Charge-density-wave (CDW) correlations feature prominently in the phase diagram of the cuprates, motivating competing theories of whether fluctuating CDW correlations aid superconductivity or whether static CDW order coexists with superconductivity in inhomogeneous or spatially modulated states. We report Cu L -edge resonant x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy measurements of CDW correlations in superconducting La 2 - x Ba x CuO 4 , x = 0.11 . The static CDW order is shown to exist in the superconducting state at low temperatures and to persist up to at least 85% of the CDW transition temperature. Here, we discuss the implications of our observations for how nominally competing order parameters can coexist in the cuprates.
