Why are stripes in La1.88Sr0.12CuO4 rotated by 3?
Abstract
The rotated stripes are a consequence of the orthorhombic crystal lattice and the isotropy of Coulomb repulsion between pairs of doped holes, residing at oxygen lattice sites. With stripe slanting, the doped-hole pairs come closer to equidistance than without. The slant ratio depends on the orthorhombicity o as s = o/2.
