Lattice symmetry breaking in cuprate superconductors: stripes, nematics, and superconductivity
This article gives an overview of both theoretical and experimental developments concerning states with lattice symmetry breaking in the cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Recent experiments have provided evidence for states with broken rotation as well as translation symmetry, and will be discussed in terms of nematic and stripe physics. Of particular …
