Nematicity in a cuprate superconductor revealed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy under uniaxial strain

Abstract The nature of the pseudogap and its relationship with superconductivity are one of the central issues of cuprate superconductors. Recently, a possible scenario has been proposed that the pseudogap state is a distinct phase characterized by spontaneous rotational symmetry breaking called “ne...
