Intrinsic translational symmetry breaking in a doped Mott insulator

A central issue of Mott physics, with symmetries being fully retained in the spin background, concerns the charge excitation. In a two-leg spin ladder with a spin gap, an injected hole can exhibit either a Bloch wave or a density wave by tuning the ladder anisotropy through a "quantum critical...
