With terahertz and infrared spectroscopy we studied the in-plane response of an underdoped, twinned YBa2Cu3O6.6 single crystal with Tc=58(1)K in high magnetic fields up to B=30 Tesla (T) applied along the c axis. Our goal was to investigate the field-induced suppression of superconductivity and to observe the signatures of the three-dimensional (3D) incommensurate copper charge density wave...

Landau-level spectroscopy, the optical analysis of electrons in materials subject to a strong magnetic field, is a versatile probe of the electronic band structure and has been successfully used in the identification of novel states of matter such as Dirac electrons, topological materials or Weyl semimetals. The latter arise from a complex interplay between crystal symmetry, spin-orbit...
