The origin of the weakly insulatinglike behavior revealed when magnetic fields ($H$) suppress superconductivity in underdoped cuprates has been a longtime mystery. Surprisingly, similar behavior observed recently in La-214 cuprates with striped spin and charge orders is consistent with a metallic, as opposed to insulating, high-field normal state. Here we report a striking finding of the vanishing of the Hall coefficient ($R_mathrm{H}$) in this field-revealed normal state for all $T<(2-6)T_{c}^{0}$, where $T_{c}^{0}$ is the zero-field superconducting transition temperature. In standard models, $R_mathrm{H}$ can only vanish accidentally, and thus $R_mathrm{H}=0$ observed over a wide range of $T$ and $H$ has to imply that charge conjugation (i.e. particle-hole) symmetry is dynamically generated. This is a robust, new fundamental property of the normal state of cuprates with intertwined orders.
Temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient, R_H_, has been investigated in charge-spin stripe-ordered La-214 high-T_c_ superconductors. Using the simplest stripe-ordered system of La_2-x_Ba_x_CuO_4_, it has been clarified that both the behavior o
The effects of the stripe order on the optical spectra of La-based cuprates are reviewed. The main effect on the high Tc superconducting cuprates is to rapidly reduce the Josephson plasma frequency in the c-axis spectrum as a consequence of weakening
In underdoped cuprate superconductors, a rich competition occurs between superconductivity and charge density wave (CDW) order. Whether rotational symmetry breaking (nematicity) occurs intrinsically and generically or as a consequence of other orders
In this article, I review progress towards an understanding of the normal state (in-plane) transport properties of high-$T_c$ cuprates in the light of recent developments in both spectroscopic and transport measurement techniques. Against a backdrop
We have studied the influence of disorder induced by electron irradiation on the Nernst effect in optimally and underdoped YBa2Cu3O(7-d) single crystals. The fluctuation regime above T_{c} expands significantly with disorder, indicating that the T_{c
