ABSTRACT We study the transport properties of underdoped trilayer cuprate HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+_δ_ with doping level _p_ = 0.10–0.12 in magnetic field up to 88 T. We report for the first time in a


cuprate superconductor a dramatic change of the quantum oscillation spectrum versus temperature, which is accompanied by a sign change of the Hall effect below _T_ ≈10 K. Based on numerical


simulations, we infer a Fermi surface reconstruction in the inner plane from an antiferromagnetic state (hole pockets) to a biaxial charge density wave state (electron pockets). We show that


both orders compete and share the same hotspots of the Fermi surface, and we discuss our result in the context of spin-fermion models. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS PAIR DENSITY

of the surprising features of cuprate superconductors is the ubiquity of the interplay between antiferromagnetic (AFM) order, charge density waves (CDWs), and superconductivity1. In general,


these orders compete, and each occupies its own piece of the phase diagram; however, significant coexistence regimes are observed, and these can lead to novel cooperative behavior. For


example, incommensurate CDW and spin orders coexist as magnetic stripes in the La-based cuprates2,3. In other cuprates, CDWs are nonmagnetic, and there have been ongoing efforts to


understand their connection to the strong electron correlations, low dimensionality, and AFM fluctuations that are hallmarks of the cuprates1. The Peierls paradigm that requires extended


sections of Fermi surface to be nested by some wavevector Q, leading to a peak in the non-interacting charge susceptibility, is certainly not at the origin of the cuprate CDWs. There are


other CDW materials without obvious Fermi surface nesting—for example, layered dichalcogenides such as NbSe24 and nonmagnetic pnictides in the BaNi2As2 family5—for which there is compelling


evidence that the CDWs are phonon-driven6,7,8,9. The corresponding evidence in the cuprates is weak10. As an alternative to phonons, spin fluctuations provide a natural mechanism for CDW


formation in cuprates. The mechanism for cuprate superconductivity is widely accepted to be of magnetic origin11, and several analytical calculations predict that spin-fluctuation-mediated


CDWs degenerate with superconductivity at the AFM quantum critical point (where the Néel temperature vanishes)12,13,14,15. This is important because it provides a route to charge order at


high temperatures without Fermi surface nesting. Instead, CDW wavevectors connect Fermi surface “hotspots” that are determined by the Q-dependence of the spin susceptibility. Early versions


of the theory incorrectly predicted that the CDW Q-vectors lie along the Brillouin zone diagonals, with Q = (_q_, ± _q_); however, quantitatively correct axial CDW wavevectors, Q = (_q_, 0),


(0, _q_), are obtained when the dominant diagonal-Q instability is suppressed. This occurs close to the AFM quantum critical point16,17,18, within AFM19,20 or loop-current21 phases, or when


strong correlations are accounted for (see refs. 22,23,24,25). Note, however, that realistic band structures produce weak peaks in the bare charge susceptibility with similar Q-vectors26


despite the lack of proper Fermi surface nesting. Thus, while there is experimental support for Fermi surface hotspots27, it is unresolved whether they are selected by the Fermi surface or


the interaction. CDWs have clear signatures in the transport properties of YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO) and single-layer HgBa2CuO4+_δ_ (Hg1201). At low temperatures, the observation of small-frequency


quantum oscillations28,29 combined with negative Hall30,31,32 and Seebeck32,33,34 coefficients indicate the presence of a closed electron pocket in the reconstructed Fermi surface. Details


of the reconstruction are still debated35, but a plausible scenario is a biaxial charge order that creates a small electron-like pocket located at the nodes. Quantum oscillations with small


frequencies have also been observed in the underdoped trilayer cuprate HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+_δ_ (Hg1223) at hole doping _p_ = 0.08–0.09 but without a sign change in the Hall coefficient down to the


lowest temperatures36. A plausible interpretation is the coexistence of an AFM order in the inner plane and CDW in the outer planes. Multilayer cuprates, with three or more CuO2 layers per


unit cell, offer a new twist on the story because a single material can host distinct phases in different layers simultaneously37. This raises intriguing questions about the coexistence and


competition between these phases, and the possible emergence of novel cooperative phases. In particular, symmetry-inequivalent CuO2 planes differ both in doping and disorder


levels37,38,39,40. In addition, AFM order is more robust in multilayer cuprates and persists up to higher doping as the number of CuO2 planes increases37. RESULTS HALL EFFECT MEASUREMENTS


Figure 1a shows the Hall coefficient plotted as a function of magnetic field _H_ for Hg1223 _p_ = 0.118 at different temperatures from _T_ = 20 K down to _T_ = 4.2 K. While _R__H_ is


positive above _T_ = 20 K, it becomes negative at _T_ = 4.2 K and flattens at fields above _H_ ≈70 T, which indicates that the normal state is reached. The temperature-dependence of the


normal-state Hall coefficient measured at the highest fields (see Supplementary Note 5) between _T_ = 1.5 K and 100 K is shown in Fig. 1b at three doping levels, _p_ = 0.118 and _p_ = 0.101


(this work) and _p_ = 0.08936. For _p_ = 0.118 and _p_ = 0.101, there is a sudden sign change of the Hall coefficient below _T_ ≈10 K that is not observed at lower doping. The sign change is


accompanied by a maximum of the resistance at _T_ ≈10 K (see Fig. 1c for _p_ = 0.118). In other cuprates, notably underdoped YBCO41,42,43 and Hg120144,45, this behavior is attributed to the


emergence of charge order. Here, both the abruptness of the transition and its low temperature, are surprising. QUANTUM OSCILLATION MEASUREMENTS Because of the low temperatures, we are in


the rare situation of being able to track the Fermi surface morphology through the CDW transition using quantum oscillation measurements. Figure 2a shows the variation of the tunnel diode


oscillator (TDO) circuit frequency as a function of the magnetic field at different temperatures for the _p_ = 0.112 sample (see Methods). A smooth background subtraction leads to the


oscillatory part of the signal depicted in Fig. 2b. At _T_ = 4.2 K, there is a strong low-frequency oscillation whose amplitude decreases with decreasing temperature. By _T_ = 1.75 K, the


low-frequency oscillations are weak, and small amplitude oscillations at higher frequencies have emerged. This is inconsistent with the Lifshitz–Kosevich theory for a temperature-independent


Fermi surface46, but rather signals a Fermi surface reconstruction. The temperature evolution of the oscillation spectrum is clearly seen in the Fourier analysis of the oscillatory part of


the data (Fig. 2c). At _T_ = 4.2 K, the spectrum is dominated by a low-frequency peak (_F_ = 680 T, black arrow) and its first harmonic. The low-frequency peak weakens and shifts to a higher


frequency (_F_ = 830 T) as the temperature decreases. Two peaks at high frequency, _F_ = 2100 T and _F_ = 2800 T (red arrow), emerge at the lowest temperatures. While the high frequencies


could result from a large effective mass (a Lifshitz–Kosevich analysis for _F_ = 2800 T would have given _m_* = 6.3 ± 0.5 _m__e_, see Supplementary Fig. 6), the Fermi surface reconstruction


scenario is required by the _T_-dependence of the low-frequency oscillation. Note that the evolution of the quantum oscillation spectrum versus temperature has been reproduced in another


sample at doping level _p_ = 0.102 (see Supplementary Fig. 7 and Notes 6). The comparison of quantum oscillations in Hg1223 at different doping levels from _p_ = 0.080 to _p_ = 0.112 is


shown in Supplementary Fig. 8. THEORY Our results demonstrate that a crossover takes place at low temperatures for _p_ = 0.10–0.12 when superconductivity is quenched by a magnetic field. To


gain insight, we numerically simulated quantum oscillations of the density of states for a single CuO2 trilayer. Since the detailed band structure of underdoped Hg1223 is unknown, the


trilayer model was adapted from existing tight-binding models for related multilayer compounds (see Supplementary Note 1). A layer-dependent quasiparticle scattering rate, which modifies QO


amplitudes but not frequencies, was incorporated. We then introduced, by hand, commensurate AFM and CDW order parameters. The AFM and CDW magnitudes, and the CDW periodicity, are the main


tuning parameters in our model, and they were adjusted to give plausible oscillation spectra at each temperature. We found that CDW order alone is insufficient, but that the addition of AFM


order in the inner layer explains the measured oscillations. The required AFM order parameter, _M_ ≲ 50 meV, is small compared to the values _M_ ≳ 100 meV inferred from experiments at


slightly smaller doping36,39. Consistent with this substantial change of energy scales, NMR experiments on related multilayer cuprates37 find that the Néel temperature collapses rapidly near


the end of the metallic AFM phase. Taken together, these suggest that the current doping is close to the AFM quantum critical point. We introduce CDW order parameters Δ_i_ and Δ_o_ for the


inner and outer layers, respectively. The CDWs are biaxial, with wavevectors of magnitude _q_ = 2_π_/4.5_a_0, and with a bond-centered _d_-wave form factor. The true form factor is more


complex47, but would not change our results qualitatively. Similarly, the calculated QOs are not strongly dependent on the value of Δ_o_, which we cannot therefore establish reliably.


Conversely, our results are highly sensitive to both _q_ and Δ_i_. We include scattering rates _Γ__o_,K and _Γ__i_,K for the outer and inner layers, respectively. We assume that _Γ__o_,K is


impurity-dominated, and, therefore, isotropic and _T_-independent, while _Γ__i_,K is anisotropic—either due to pseudogap physics or to order parameter fluctuations—and decreases with


decreasing _T_. The density of states, _N_0(_H_), is obtained at the Fermi energy as a function of magnetic field using a numerical recursion method for large supercells (see Supplementary


Note 2), for the parameters in Table 1. Figure 3a shows that the oscillations at 4.2 K are dominated by a single frequency, while multiple frequencies are evident at 1.8 K. Fourier


transforming with respect to 1/_H_ reveals a strong low-frequency peak at _F_ ≈600 T at 4.2 K, along with harmonics at 1200 and 1800 T [Fig. 3b]. The peak weakens and shifts to a higher


frequency, _F_ ≈800 T, at 1.8 K. Additional peaks, most notably at 1100 and 2700 T, emerge at low _T_. These frequencies agree surprisingly well with the experiments. The reconstructed Fermi


surfaces are too complicated to provide a semiclassical explanation of the peaks (see Fig. 1 of the Supplementary Information). Simplified Fermi surfaces [Fig. 3c, d)] show that the main


peak at 4.2 K comes from hole pockets (blue) generated by AFM order; the other Fermi surfaces (solid red and green) are unchanged by AFM because they have primarily outer-layer character,


but are reconstructed by the outer-layer CDW to form electron pockets (dashed red and green). By assumption, the inner-layer order parameters _M_ and Δ_i_ depend on _T_. Consequently, the


main peak’s frequency increases between 4.2 K and 1.8 K because the hole pocket area grows as _M_ decreases; the peak’s height decreases because of increased quasiparticle scattering by the


CDW (Δ_i_ grows as _T_ decreases) and magnetic breakdown when _M_ is small. Ultimately, Δ_i_ reconstructs the hole pocket at low _T_ to form a diamond-shaped electron pocket [dashed blue in


Fig. 3d] with frequency, _F_ ~2700 T. This provides an explanation for the high-frequency peak seen experimentally [Fig. 2c]. Other low-_T_ peaks in Fig. 3b, at 1100 and 2100 T, are clearly


tied to the growth of Δ_i_, but are difficult to ascribe to a single semiclassical orbit. DISCUSSION Our calculations support the scenario shown in Fig. 4. Above 10 K, inner-layer AFM order


coexists with short-range outer-layer CDW order. Below 10 K, the CDW is sufficiently long-range that the outer-layer Fermi surfaces are reconstructed and generate an electron-like Hall


coefficient; however, the relatively large quasiparticle scattering rate in the outer layers damps the corresponding quantum oscillations. (In our simulations, the outer layers account for


less than 10% of oscillation amplitude.) Though centered on different layers, the AFM and CDW orders compete because the layers are coupled, and the CDW order gradually replaces the AFM


order on the inner layer. In our simulations, the shifts of the main peak height and frequency, and the appearance of a high-frequency peak are intimately connected to this crossover. While


zero-field charge order was detected in Hg122348, we cannot exclude that it is enhanced by the magnetic field, as in YBCO49. The results reported here have a remarkable implication. In our


simulations, the CDW wavevector _q_ was chosen to explain the low-_T_ oscillation peak at ~2800 T. The CDW hotspots implied by this _q_-value are, within the resolution of our simulations,


coincident with the AFM hotspots, i.e., points on the Fermi surface connected by the AFM wavevector \({\bf{Q}}=(\frac{\pi }{{a}_{0}},\frac{\pi }{{a}_{0}})\) (Fig. 4 bottom). This coincidence


is a key feature of models in which CDW order is mediated by critical spin fluctuations carrying momentum Q. In contrast, the CDW order tends to connect points away from the AFM hotspots


when it emerges on top of a pre-existing AFM state20,50. As discussed above, we infer from our measurements that the AFM quantum critical point is nearby. Our measurements are thus


suggestive that charge order at this doping level is mediated by critical spin fluctuations. One possible counter-argument is that the superconducting and long-range CDW transition


temperatures differ by an order of magnitude, contrary to early calculations suggesting they should be the same at the AFM quantum critical point13,14; however, more recent work showed that


the predicted degeneracy breaks down when the band structure lacks particle-hole symmetry19, as in Hg1223. Another possible counter-argument is that CDW order persists in YBCO51, in


La2−xSrxCuO452, and in overdoped Tl2Ba2CuO6+_δ_53 to doping levels far from the AFM quantum critical point. It is unlikely that the AFM hotspot picture makes sense in these doping regimes,


and other (noncritical) interactions are likely important. The question posed by our work is whether the hotspot picture makes sense close to the AFM quantum critical point. In this regard,


it would be interesting to determine the evolution of the CDW wavevectors with doping because the CDW hotspots should be pinned to the AFM Brillouin zone boundary wherever critical spin


fluctuations are the dominant interaction. The fact that the CDW and AFM Fermi surface hotspots coincide in our simulations provides a natural explanation for the competition between the two


phases: both phases derive part of their condensation energy from the gap they open at the hotspot and the phase with the largest condensation energy will form preferentially. Our model


suggests that these energies must be roughly equal at 4.2 K, and that there is growth of the outer-layer CDW below 4.2 K that tips the balance in the inner layer toward the CDW phase. Since


the order parameters reported in Table 1 are directly related to the hotspot gaps, it is tempting to make naive statements about the energetics of the competition between the CDW and AFM


phases. Noting that the _d_-wave character of the CDW means that the CDW gap near the antinode is roughly twice the value shown in the table, and that Δ_o_ is not well-established by our


simulations and could be significantly larger, it is plausible that the AFM and CDW phases have similar gap magnitudes. However, these arguments miss the important point that the CDW and AFM


condensation energies have distinct dependencies on the Fermi surface geometry (unlike BCS superconductors, which depend only on the density of states). Simple arguments about the


energetics of the two phases are, therefore, not possible, and a proper microscopic calculation is required. In conclusion, we have measured the evolution of the Fermi surface at low


temperatures in Hg1223 samples with _p_ = 0.10–0.12, and demonstrated that there is a Fermi surface reconstruction at low temperature. Through numerical simulations, we attribute this to


competition between CDW and AFM order. The CDW wavevectors required to reproduce the experimental oscillation spectrum suggest that the CDW and AFM phases share Fermi surface hotspots. This


naturally explains the competition between the two phases, but is also a hallmark of CDWs that are mediated by critical spin fluctuations. METHODS SAMPLES Single crystals of the trilayer


cuprate HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+_δ_ have been synthesized using a self-flux growth technique as described in ref. 54. Using adequate heat treatment, Hg1223 can be largely underdoped and its doping


level controlled. The doping _p_ has been deduced from the empirical relation 1 − _T__c_/_T__c_,max = 82.6(_p_−0.16)2, where _T__c_ is the onset superconducting transition measured by SQUID


(see Supplementary Fig. 3) and _T__c_,max = 133 K. The list of samples studied by transport or TDO are shown in Table 2 with their _T__c_ and corresponding hole doping. The results for the


lowest doping _p_ = 0.089 are from ref. 36. TDO MEASUREMENTS Quantum oscillation measurements using the tunnel diode oscillator technique55,56 were performed at the pulsed-field facility in


Toulouse (LNCMI-T) up to 88 T in two samples of Hg1223 at doping levels _p_ = 0.102 (_T__c_ = 96 K) and _p_ = 0.112 (_T__c_ = 108 K). Typical sample dimensions are 500 × 500 × 100 μm3. The


experimental setup consists of an LC-tank circuit powered by a tunneling diode oscillator biased in the negative resistance region of the current-voltage characteristic. The sample is placed


in a compensated 8-shape coil (the diameter and length of the coil are adapted for each sample to optimize the filling factor). The fundamental resonant frequency _f_0 of the whole circuit


is about 25 MHz. The RF signal is amplified and demodulated down to a frequency of about 1 MHz using a heterodyne circuit. A high-speed acquisition system is used to digitize the signal. The


data are post-analysed using a software to extract the field dependence of the resonance frequency _f__T__D__O_, which is sensitive to the resistivity through the change in skin depth. HALL


EFFECT MEASUREMENTS The Hall effect was measured at the LNCMI-T in two distinct samples of Hg1223 at similar doping levels, _p_ = 0.101 (_T__c_ = 95 K) and _p_ = 0.118 (_T__c_ = 114 K). The


magnetic field _H_ was applied along the _c_-axis of the tetragonal structure, perpendicular to the CuO2 planes for both field polarities. Data for the sample _p_ = 0.089 is from ref. 36.


Typical sample dimensions are 700 × 400 × 90 μm3. Gold contacts were sputtered onto the surface of the sample before a heat treatment leading to contact resistances of a few ohms at room


temperature and below 1 Ω at low temperature. The measurements were performed up to 86 T in a dual coil magnet using a conventional four-point configuration with a current excitation of ≈5 


mA at a frequency of ≈60 kHz. A high-speed acquisition system was used to digitize the reference signal (current) and the voltage drop across the sample at a frequency of 500 kHz. The data


were post-analyzed with software to perform the phase comparison. CALCULATIONS We numerically simulated quantum oscillations of the density of states for a tight-binding model of a single


CuO2 trilayer using a numerical recursion method for large supercells (see Supplementary Notes 1, 2 for a detailed description). DATA AVAILABILITY The data that support the findings of this
