Freezing of stripes in lightly-doped La2−xSrxCuO4 as manifested in magnetic and transport properties of untwinned single crystals

چکیده
Resistivity and magnetization measurements are used for studying the transverse sliding of AF domain boundaries in lightly doped La2−xSrxCuO4. We discuss that it is the freezing of the transverse boundary motion that is responsible for the appearance of “spin-glass” features at low temperatures.

Anisotropic electromagnetic response of lightly doped La2-xSrxCuO4 within the CuO2 planes.
Using infrared spectroscopy, we show that spin self-organization in untwinned La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) crystals has profound consequences for the dynamical conductivity sigma(omega). The electronic response of CuO2 planes acquires significant anisotropy in the spin ordered state with enhancement of the conductivity along the direction of the diagonal spin stripes by up to a factor of 2. An examinati...
متن کاملStripes and Charge Transport Properties of High-tc Cuprates
Unusual features in the in-plane charge transport in lightly hole-doped La2−xSrxCuO4 single crystals are described. Notably, both the in-plane resistivity and the Hall coefficient show a metallic behavior at moderate temperatures even in the long-range-ordered antiferromagnetic phase, which obviously violates the Mott-Ioffe-Regel criterion for the metallic transport and can hardly be understood...

Neutron scattering is proved to be a vital probe in unveiling the magnetic properties of high temperature superconductors (HTSC). Detailed information about the energy and momentum dependence of the magnetic dynamics of HTSC have been obtained directly by this technique. Over the past decade by improving the crystal growth methods, large and high quality single crystals of HTSC, which are ess...
متن کاملSpin reorientation and in-plane magnetoresistance of lightly doped La2−xSrxCuO4 in magnetic fields up to 55 T
The magnetoresistance (MR) in the in-plane resistivity is measured in magnetic fields up to 55 T in lightly doped La2−xSrxCuO4 in the Néel state (x = 0.01) and in the spin-glass state (x = 0.03) using high-quality untwinned single crystals. In both cases, a large negative MR is observed to appear when the magnetic order is established. For x = 0.01, it is found that the MR is indicative of a on...
متن کاملMagnetic order in lightly doped La2-xSrxCuO4.
We study long wavelength magnetic excitations in lightly doped La2-xSrxCuO4 (x</=0.03) detwinned crystals. The lowest energy magnetic anisotropy induced gap can be understood in terms of the antisymmetric spin interaction inside the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase. The second magnetic resonance, analyzed in terms of in-plane spin anisotropy, shows unconventional behavior within the AF state; it le...
