The stripe state at 1/8 Ba doping hosts optimal superconductivity in La-214 cuprates under low in-plane stress

Abstract The cuprate system La 2− x Ba x CuO 4 (LBCO) exhibits a pronounced sensitivity to in-plane uniaxial stress, particularly near the 1/8 doping anomaly, where stripe order strongly suppresses bulk superconductivity. While previous studies have focused on compositions close...
