Abstract: Charge-stripe order and superconductivity Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of the model high-temperature copper oxide superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy demonstrate that high magnetic fields induce charge order, without spin order, within the material's CuO2 planes. The observed charge order has characteristics similar to those of stripe-ordered copper oxides, in which electronic charges spontaneously organize themselves into 'stripes'. The charge order develops only when superconductivity fades away. This work suggests that stripes are more common objects in the cuprates than was thought. They seem to compete with superconductivity, although the tendency to form stripes may be a necessary ingredient of high temperature superconductivity.
