The electronic phase diagrams of many highly correlated systems, and, in particular, the
cuprate high temperature superconductors, are complex, with many different phases …

This article discusses fluctuating order in a quantum disordered phase proximate to a
quantum critical point, with particular emphasis on fluctuating stripe order. Optimal strategies …

NATURE abounds with phase transitions. The boiling and freezing of water are everyday
examples of phase transitions, as are more exotic processes such as superconductivity and …

This article gives an overview of both theoretical and experimental developments
concerning states with lattice symmetry breaking in the cuprate high-temperature …

We investigate the manifestation of stripes in the in-plane resistivity anisotropy in untwinned
single crystals of La 2− x Sr x CuO 4 (x= 0.02–0.04) and YBa 2 Cu 3 O y (y= 6.35–7.0). It is …

We report hard (14 keV) x-ray diffraction measurements on three compositions (x= 0.11,
0.12, 0.13) of the high-temperature superconductor La 2− x Sr x CuO 4. All samples show …

Small changes in an external parameter can often lead to dramatic qualitative changes in
the lowest energy quantum mechanical ground state of a correlated electron system. In …

The effect of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) on the
activation and differentiation of normal B cells was investigated. B cells of transgenic mice …

Satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry shows that the magnitude 7.6 Manyi
earthquake of 8 November 1997 produced a 170-kilometer-long surface break with up to 7 …

This review is an up-to-date snapshot of the current situation in studies of materials with
competing electron spectrum instabilities, namely Cooper pairing, on the one hand, and …
