Cover Story: The bismuth sulfide class of superconductors is a testbed for investigating the effects of charge density wave instabilities, lattice modes leading to phonon softening, and spin–orbit interactions on the superconducting mechanism. In this work, the local atomic structure of the nonmagnetic layered superconductor Bi4O4S3 was investigated using neutron diffraction and pair density function analysis. Although on average, the crystal structure is well ordered, evidence for local, out-of-plane sulfur distortions is provided, which may act as a conduit for charge transfer from the SO4 blocks into the superconducting BiS2 planes. In contrast with LaO1-xFxBiS2, no sulfur distortions were detected in the planes, which indicates that charge density wave fluctuations are not supported in Bi4O4S3.View this paper

While spin striped phases in La2−xSrxNiO4+y for 0.25 < x < 0.33 are the archetypal case of a 1D spin density wave (SDW) phase in doped antiferromagnetic strongly correlated perovskites, few information is available on the SDW spatial orga...
