New break-junction tunneling data are reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+delta) over a wide range of hole concentration from underdoped (Tc = 74 K) to optimal doped (Tc = 95 K) to overdoped (Tc = 48 K). The conductances exhibit sharp dips at a…

Recent experiments have addressed the nature of the charge order seen in underdoped cuprates. Here, I show that x-ray absorption and linear dichroism are an excellent probe of such order. Ab-initio calculations reveal that a d-wave charge…

We show how to properly extract the local charge order in two-dimensional materials from scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) measurements. When the charge order presents spatial variations at the atomic scale inside the…

Optical spectroscopy was used to investigate the optical gap (2$\Delta $) due to charge ordering (CO) and related pseudogap developments with x and temperature (T) in La$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ (0.48 <= x <= 0.67). Surprisingly, we found…

We have synthesized and characterized different stable phases of sodium cobaltates Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ with sodium content $0.65<x<0.80$. We demonstrate that $^{23}$Na NMR allows to determine the difference in the susceptibility of the phases…

We show that the valence electrons of Ba3NaRu2O9, which has a quasi-molecular structure, completely crystallize below 210 K. Using an extended Hubbard model, we show that the charge ordering instability results from long-range Coulomb…

We conclude from 23Na and 51V NMR measurements in NaxV2O5(x=0.996) a charge ordering transition starting at T=37 K and preceding the lattice distortion and the formation of a spin gap Delta=106 K at Tc=34.7 K. Above Tc, only a single Na…

We investigate theoretically charge ordered states on the anisotropic triangular lattice characteristic of the theta-(BEDT-TTF)_2 X materials. Using exact diagonalization studies, we establish that the charge order (CO) pattern corresponds…

We present a detailed analysis of the superconductivity-induced redistribution of optical spectral weight in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 near optimal doping. It confirms the previous conclusion by Molegraaf et al. (Science 66, 2239 (2002)), that the…

Charge order is universal among high-T$_c$ cuprates but its relevance to superconductivity is not established. It is widely believed that, while static order competes with superconductivity, dynamic order may be favorable and even…

Charge-ordered ground states permeate the phenomenology of 3d-based transition metal oxides, and more generally represent a distinctive hallmark of strongly-correlated states of matter. The recent discovery of charge order in various…
