Compelling evidence exists for electronic phase separation in cuprate high-$T_c$ superconductors, emerging near 1/8 hole doping. At these dopings and low temperatures, intertwined charge and spin stripes coexist with more uniformly doped…
Even before the experimental discovery of spin- and charge-stripe order in La$_{2-x-y}$Nd$_y$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ and La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$ at x = 1/8, stripe formation was predicted from theoretical considerations. Nevertheless, a consistent…

Non-zero spin orbit coupling has been reported in several unconventional superconductors due to the absence of inversion symmetry breaking. This contrasts with cuprate superconductors, where such interaction has been neglected for a long…

Doping $La_2CuO_{4}$ with alkaline-earth, $Ae= Sr,Ba$ generates holes in $La_{2-y-x}Ln_yAe_xCuO_{4}$ ($Ln =$ $Nd,Eu$). A small fraction of the holes, $\check{p} \le $ $0.02$, suppresses 3D-AFM. The rest resides as double holes at $O$ atoms…

When holes are doped into an antiferromagnetic insulator they form a slowly fluctuating array of ``topological defects'' (metallic stripes) in which the motion of the holes exhibits a self-organized quasi one-dimensional electronic…
