Using time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, we study the role of amplitude and phase fluctuations in the recovery of charge and spin stripe phases in response to a pump pulse that melts the orders. For parameters relevant to the case where…
Revealing the predominant driving force behind symmetry breaking in correlated materials is sometimes a formidable task due to the intertwined nature of different degrees of freedom. This is the case for La2-xSrxNiO4+{\delta} in which…
Strong resonant enhancements of the charge-order and spin-order superstructure-diffraction intensities in La1.8Sr0.2NiO4 are observed when x-ray energies in the vicinity of the Ni L2,3 absorption edges are used. The pronounced photon-energy…
We studied the stripe phase of La1.8Sr0.2NiO4 using neutron diffraction, resonant soft x-ray diffraction (RSXD) at the Ni L2,3 edges, and resonant x-ray diffraction (RXD) at the Ni K threshold. Differences in the q-space resolution of the…
The ability to probe symmetry breaking transitions on their natural time scales is one of the key challenges in nonequilibrium physics. Stripe ordering represents an intriguing type of broken symmetry, where complex interactions result in…
The influence of high electric fields on the charge stripe order in Nd1.67Sr0.33NiO4 was studied by means of simultaneous hard x-ray diffraction and electrical transport experiments. Direct measurements of the charge stripe satellite peaks…
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in nickelate superconductors, it is an open question how closely the superconducting state resembles that of cuprate superconductors. One salient feature of the phase diagram of the…
Trilayer nickelates, which exhibit a high degree of orbital polarization combined with an electron count (d8.67) corresponding to overdoped cuprates, have been identified as a promising candidate platform for achieving high-Tc…
We present a combined study of Ni $K$-edge resonant x-ray scattering and density functional calculations to probe and distinguish electronically driven ordering and lattice distortions in nickelate heterostructures. We demonstrate that due…
Charge and spin ordering in La2NiO4.17 has been studied by 139La NMR using the field and temperature dependence of the linewidth and relaxation rates. The stripes are site centered and the domain spins freeze at ~ 180 K, followed by a…
We analyze theoretically the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ni K edge in the stripe-ordered state of La_{2-x}Sr_xNiO_4 at x=1/3. In the calculation of RIXS spectra, the stripe-ordered ground state is described within the…
We characterize the local structure and correlations of charge stripes in La(1.725)Sr(0.275)NiO(4) using transmission-electron microscopy. We present direct evidence that the stripe modulation is indeed one-dimensional within each NiO(2)…
We study the temporal stability of stripe-type spin order in a layered nickelate with X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and observe fluctuations on time scales of tens of minutes over a wide temperature range. These fluctuations show an…
We consider a Landau theory of coupled charge and spin-density wave order parameters as a simple model for the ordering that has been observed experimentally in the La_2NiO_4 and La_2CuO_4 families of doped antiferromagnets. The period of…
In several strongly correlated electron systems, defects, charge and local lattice distortions are found to show complex inhomogeneous spatial distributions. There is growing evidence that such inhomogeneity plays a fundamental role in…
The experimental observations of stripes in superconducting cuprates and insulating nickelates clearly show the modulation in charge and spin density. However, these have proven to be rather insensitive to the harmonic structure and (site…
Recent neutron scattering measurements reveal spin and charge ordering in the half-doped nickelate, La$_{3/2}$ Sr$_{1/2}$ NiO$_4$. Many of the features of the magnetic excitations have been explained in terms of the spin waves of diagonal…
The temperature evolution of structural effects associated with charge (CO) and spin order (SO) in La$_{1.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$NiO$_{4}$ has been investigated using neutron powder diffraction. We report an anomalous shrinking of the $c/a$ lattice…
We report polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction measurements on La2-xSrxNiO4 (x=0.275 and 1/3). The data for the spin ordered states are consistent with a collinear spin model in which spins with S=1 are in the NiO2 plane and are…
A defining signature of strongly correlated electronic systems is the existence of competing phases with similar ground state energies, resulting in a rich phase diagram. While in the recently discovered nickelate superconductors, a high…
