Abstract

Structural compliance is defined as the ability of a crystal structure to accommodate variations in local atomic bond-lengths without incurring large strain energies. The structural compliance of cuprates is relatively small. In the presence of charge stripes short, highly doped, Cu-O-Cu bonds become subject to a tensile misfit strain. We show that this leads to nanoscale microstructures. This explains a number of experimental observations as we discuss here.
