In an inhomogeneous particle density region, or \"soft phase,\" filamentary patterns appear which are destroyed only at very high temperatures. The filaments act as a fluctuating template for correlated percolation in which low-energy excitations can move through the stable pattern by local rearrangements. At intermediate temperatures, dynamically averaged checkerboard states appear. We discuss possible implications for cuprate superconducting and related materials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-10-21T22:12:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "soft phase", "long-range interactions", "fibrillar templates", "short-range dipolar attraction", "filamentary patterns appear" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
