Scaling behavior of low-temperature orthorhombic domains in the prototypical high-temperature superconductor La₁.₈₇₅ Ba₀.₁₂₅ CuO₄

Abstract

Structural symmetry breaking and recovery in condensed-matter systems are closely related to exotic physical properties such as superconductivity (SC), magnetism, spin density waves, and charge density waves (CDWs). The interplay between different order parameters is intricate and often subject to intense debate, as in the case of CDW order and superconductivity. In La₁.₈₇₅ Ba₀.₁₂₅ CuO
