Issues: nature – static vs. dynamic orientation – vertical vs. diagonal spacing – commensuratevs. incommensurate width – one atom vs. two ... location of holes – site-centered vs. bond-centered
Cuprates stripes: interleaved charge and spin density (Kivelson, Emery) (Zaanen) (Castro Neto, Morais-Smith) bond-ordered charge density (Sachdev) from Almason and Maple (1991) 2D magnetic/current textures: DDW (Marsten, Chakravarty, Morr); Staggered flux (Lee); Loops (Varma)
Scattering Probes Energy, Momentum Phase Information? Yes in certain cases Goals: • Phase-sensitive information from diffraction probe • Guidance for microscopic theories of superconductivity in cuprates, organics

Conclusions Elastic: For both 2D and 3D antiphase domain walls, bond-centered p=ODD stripes show new peaks, forbidden for site-centered Inelastic: • Number of bands distinguishes site- or bond-centered Site: (p-1) bands Bond: (p) bands • Qualitatively different spin wave spectra Site: all bands increase with J_b Bond: lower bands independent of J_b top band ~ 2 J_b • Velocity anisotropy Bond-centered is rather isotropic over a large range of parameters Extensions: • Diagonal spin waves • Other spin textures
