What is it about?
The lattice system was further probed using the Niggli-reduced cell at gamma = 6.0678. It was observed that grain boundaries leading to electron trapping originates from the CuO2 plane while the mesoscopic phase separation is controlled by the cell type and axial value in the x- and y- axes of the crystal lattice. Although the research partly supports popular findings that the main positive lobes of LSDCO are centered on the z-axis, it observed that the negative lobe is located in a ring-like structure along the X-Y plane.

Why is it important?
This result is particularly interesting because it shows the likely origin of broken symmetry in LSDCO sample. The ion bombardment analysis shows that the LSDCO electron-phonon ratio was 8:5. The microstructural analysis of the LSDCO sample was observed to have magnetic field strength of 1.5 kA/m. LSDCO sample possess enormous structural mystery that may interest further studies beyond superconductivity.
Perspectives
This assertion was corroborated by the wide range values of the Minkowski boundaries. Hence, it is believed that the position of the positive and negative lobes may interchange at some stage.
