a The extended unit cell (dashed box) of PrxY1−xBa2Cu3O7 illustrating the charge order coupling between adjacent CuO2 planes that arises when introducing Pr at the Y sites. The Pr 4\({f}_{z({x}^{2}-{y}^{2})}\) orbital is shown which hybridizes with the 2pπ states of the planar O. b A schematic depiction of the 3D CO out-of-plane correlation length in PrxY1−xBa2Cu3O7 which spans ~31 sets of CuO2 planes (~364 Å).
