Charge density wave (CDW) order has been shown to compete and coexist with superconductivity in underdoped cuprates. Theoretical proposals for the CDW order include an unconventional d-symmetry form factor CDW, evidence for which has emerged from measurements, including resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) in YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO). Here, we revisit RSXS measurements of the CDW symmetry in YBCO, using a variation in the measurement geometry to provide enhanced sensitivity to orbital symmetry. We show that the (0 0.31 L) CDW peak measured at the Cu L edge is dominated by an s form factor rather than a d form factor as was reported previously. In addition, by measuring both (0.31 0 L) and (0 0.31 L) peaks, we identify a pronounced difference in the orbital symmetry of the CDW order along the a and b axes, with the CDW along the a axis exhibiting orbital order in addition to charge order.

Superconductivity often emerges in proximity of other symmetry-breaking ground states, such as antiferromagnetism or charge-density-wave (CDW) order. However, the subtle interrelation of these phases remains poorly understood, and in some cases even the existence of short-range correlations for superconducting compositions is uncertain. In such circumstances, ultrafast experiments can provide new insights by tracking the relaxation kinetics following excitation at frequencies related to the broken-symmetry state. Here, we investigate the transient terahertz conductivity of BaPb1−xBixO3––a material for which superconductivity is “adjacent” to a competing CDW phase––after optical excitation tuned to the CDW absorption band. In insulating BaBiO3 we observed an increase in conductivity and a subsequent relaxation, which are consistent with quasiparticles injection across a rigid semiconducting gap. In the doped compound BaPb0.72Bi0.28O3 (superconducting below TC = 7 K), a similar response was also found immediately above TC. This observation evidences the presence of a robust gap up to T≃ 40 K, which is presumably associated with short-range CDW correlations. A qualitatively different behavior was observed in the same material for T≳ 40 K. Here, the photoconductivity was dominated by an enhancement in carrier mobility at constant density, suggestive of melting of the CDW correlations rather than excitation across an optical gap. The relaxation displayed a temperature-dependent, Arrhenius-like kinetics, suggestive of the crossing of a free-energy barrier between two phases. These results support the existence of short-range CDW correlations above TC in underdoped BaPb1−xBixO3, and provide information on the dynamical interplay between superconductivity and charge order.

An original interference effect observed in one-dimensional (1D) disordered conductors between X-ray scattering due to the disorder and the charge density wave (CDW)- periodic lattice modulation (PLD) allows to study the pinning of the modulation at local scale. We apply this effect to determine the phase of the CDW at the pinning centres and to show that the response of the CDW to the impurity potential leads to the formation of Friedel oscillations (FO). We report experimental determination and quantitative interpretation of the thermal evolution of both features. The thermal dependence of the interference effect allows one to determine the pinning energy of the 2kF-CDW in the V-and W-doped blue bronzes. We show in particular that in these compounds the regular CDW is pinned to the dopant dressed by its FO. In the organic charge transfer salts irradiation leads to an enhancement of the 2kF and 4kF X-ray scattering that we show, by its thermal dependence, to be due to the formation of FO.

We calculate the influence of transverse fluctuations on the longitudinal dynamics in the striped phase of cuprates by using the bosonization technique. We find that a charge density wave instability can arise if the stripe is quarter filled and the underlying lattice potential has a zig-zag symmetry. Our results shed light on the as yet not understood connection between the formation of a low temperature tetragonal phase and the subsequent appearance of charge order in high-Tc cuprates.
