The interplay of nearly degenerate orders in quantum materials can lead to a myriad of emergent phases. A prominent case is that of the high-Tc cuprates for which the relationship between superconductivity and a short-ranged, incommensurate charge density wave in the CuO2 planes involving the dx2−y2 orbitals (Cu-CDW) is a subject of great current interest. Strong modifications of the...

We studied how an additional layer of the high superconductor YBCO affects the magneto-transport across a LSMO/Alq3/Co spin-valve structure. We found that up to a thickness of at least 10 nm the YBCO layer on top of LSMO hardly changes the spin-valve effect, since the device resistance still depends on the relative orientation of the LSMO and Co magnetization. The spin-valve effect persists...

With dc magnetization and polarized neutron reflectometry we studied the ferromagnetic response of YBa2Cu3O7/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (YBCO/LCMO) multilayers that are grown with pulsed laser deposition. We found that whereas for certain growth conditions (denoted as A type) the ferromagnetic moment of the LCMO layer is strongly dependent on the structural details of the YBCO layer on which it is ...

The observation of a charge density wave in the underdoped cuprate high Tc superconductors (Cu-CDW) raised a debate about its relationship with superconductivity. In bulk YBa2Cu3O7−δ the Cu-CDW is incipient and mainly pinned by defects. Nevertheless, a large magnetic field can induce a true long-range Cu- CDW order as it suppresses superconductivity. An enhanced Cu-CDW order was also ...
