Ha. Blackstead et Jd. Dow, CHARGE-TRANSFER AND THE LOCATION OF SUPERCONDUCTING HOLES IN LA2-BETA-SR-BETA-CUO4, Journal of physics and chemistry of solids, 56(12), 1995, pp. 1697-1698
As beta increases in La2(-beta)Sr(beta)CuO(4), holes transfer from the
cuprate-planes to the La-O layers-the opposite of what the charge-tra
nsfer hypothesis predicts We interpret this analyzed charge-transfer a
s indicating that the superconductivity originates in the vicinity of
La-O layers, not in the cuprate-planes-contrary to previous interpreta
tions of measurements which place the origin of superconductivity in t
he cuprate-planes.
