Popis: The interplay of nearly degenerate orders in quantum materials can lead to a myriad of emergent phases. A prominent case is that of the high Tc cuprates for which the relationship between superconductivity and a short ranged, incommensurate charge density wave in the CuO2 planes involving the dx2 amp; 8722;y2 orbitals Cu CDW is a subject of great current interest. Strong modifications of the strength and coherence of this Cu CDW have been achieved by applying large magnetic fields, uniaxial pressure, or via the interfacial coupling in cuprate manganite multilayers. However, such modifications do not alter the dominant orbital character. Here we investigate cuprate manganite multilayers with resonant inelastic X ray scattering RIXS and show that a new kind of Cu based density wave order can be induced that has not been previously observed in the cuprates. This order has an unusually small in plane wave vector in the range of Q amp; 8201; lt; amp; 8201;0.1 reciprocal lattice units r.l.u. , a large correlation length of about 40 amp; 8201;nm, and a predominant dz2 orbital character, instead of the typical dx2 amp; 8722;y2 one. Its appearance is determined by the hole doping of the manganite which is a key parameter controlling the interfacial charge transfer and orbital reconstruction. We anticipate that the observation of a previously unknown type of density wave order at the YBCO interface will allow for fresh perspectives on the enigmatic relation between superconductivity and charge order CO in the cuprates
