Locally commensurate charge-density wave with three-unit-cell periodicity in YBa2Cu3Oy

Understanding cuprate superconductors requires better knowledge of the microscopic structure of their charge-density waves (CDW). Here, the authors report evidence that the long-range CDW order in YBa2Cu3Oy has a local commensurate period of three unit cells.
