In order to explain the emergence of the anomalous pseudogap state and high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates, intense research activity over three decades has focused on unravelling the connection between the various instabilities of the underdoped regime. In the high-temperature superconductor (Ca_xLa_1-x)(Ba_1.75-xLa_0.25+x)Cu_3O_y (CLBLCO) isovalent chemical substitution produces smooth changes to the CuO_2 plane buckling and the Cu(II)-to-apical-oxygen distance, allowing us to

... tudy the interdependence of charge-density-wave (CDW) order, superconductivity and the pseudogap at constant hole doping in two adiabatically connected representations of the 123 cuprate structure. In this study, resonant soft x-ray scattering measurements reveal the first observation of incommensurate CDW correlations in CLBLCO and demonstrate a lack of correlation between T_CDW and the pseudogap crossover temperature (T^∗). This result disfavours a scenario in which the opening of the pseudogap at T^∗ results from fluctuating CDW correlations.
