B. Buchner et al., BUCKLING OF THE CUO2 PLANES AND THE ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES OF DOPED LA2CUO4 SUPERCONDUCTORS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1227-1228
The electronic properties of rare earth (RE) doped La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO)
depend sensitively on the tilt displacements of the CuO6 octahedra. I
n particular, in the low temperature tetragonal (LTT) phase with incre
asing tilt angle Phi a crossover from a metallic, superconducting to a
metallic, non-superconducting phase with probably (local) antiferroma
gnetic (AF) order is observed. We discuss the influence of the tilt di
splacements on the electronic properties in the three structural low t
emperature phases of RE-doped LSCO.
