The stripe critical point for cuprates

Show affiliationsThe experimental determination of the quantum critical point (QCP) that triggers the self-organization of charged striped domains in cuprate perovskites is reported. The phase diagram of doped cuprate superconductors is determined by a first variable, the hole doping δ, and a second variable, the micro-strain ε of the Cu-O bond length, obtained from the Cu K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure. For a fixed optimum doping, δc = 0.16, we show the presence of the QCP for the onset of local lattice distortions and stripe formation at the critical micro-strain εc. The critical temperature Tc(ε,δ) reaches its maximum at the quantum critical point (εc,δc) for the formation of bubbles of superconducting stripes. The critical charge, orbital and spin fluctuations near this strain QCP provide the interaction for the pairing.
