The cuprate superconductor La1.83Sr0.17CuO4

Caption

Changes in chemical composition cause spatial disorder in the superconducting properties, shown by the different colored circles in the cuprate superconductor La1.83Sr0.17CuO4. The interlayer tunneling inherits the disorder, which can be measured using the isolated Josephson echo in angle-resolved two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy.
