Pair density wave at high magnetic fields in cuprates with charge and spin orders

Among the exotic phases in underdoped cuprates, the evidence of a pair density wave (PDW) remains inconclusive. Here, Shi et al. report transport signatures consistent with the presence of PDW pairing correlations that compete with uniform superconductivity in two underdoped cuprate superconductors.
