Superconductivity: Quantum stripe search
Jan Zaanen1
Abstract
Do quantum stripes exist or not? Further indirect evidence for this controversial behaviour of electrons in high-temperature superconductors comes from measurements of atomic-lattice vibrations.
Since 1995, the 'stripe wars' have been raging in the demesne of high-temperature superconductivity. This fierce conflict, fought with the highest-calibre weapons of experimental physics, has its antecedent in a hotly contested claim about the way electrons behave in the copper oxide materials notoriously used as high-temperature superconductors.
