Stripes and Charge Transport Properties of High-tc Cuprates
نویسنده
چکیده
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 without employing the role of charge stripes. Moreover, the mobility of holes in this “metallic” antiferromagnetic state is found to be virtually the same as that in optimally-doped crystals, which strongly suggests that the stripes govern the charge transport in a surprisingly wide doping range up to optimum doping.

Stripes, Electron-Like and Polaron-Like Carriers, and High-Tc in the Cuprates
Received 4 November 1998 Both “large-U” and “small-U” orbitals are used to study the electronic structure of the high-Tc cuprates. A striped structure with three types of carriers are induced, polaron-like “stripons” which carry charge, “quasielectrons” which carry both charge and spin, and “svivons” which carry spin and lattice distortion. Anomalous physical properties of the cuprates are deri...

Received 19 February 1997 The electronic structure of the high-Tc cuprates is studied in terms of “large-U” and “small-U” orbitals. A striped structure and three types of quasiparticles are obtained, polaron-like “stripons” carrying charge, “svivons” carrying spin, and “quasielectrons” carrying both. The anomalous properties are explained, and specifically the behavior of the resistivity, Hall ...

The carriers in the high-Tc cuprates are found to be polaron-like “stripons” carrying charge and located in stripe-like inhomogeneities, “quasi-electrons” carrying charge and spin, and “svivons” carrying spin and some lattice distortion. The anomalous spectroscopic and transport properties of the cuprates are understood. The stripe-like inhomogeneities result from the Bose condensation of the s...
متن کاملCharge Stripes and Antiferromagnetism in Insulating Nickelates and Superconducting Cuprates
Neutron and X-ray scattering studies have provided strong evidence for coupled spatial modulations of charge and spin densities in layered nickelates and cuprates. The accumulated results for La2−xSrxNiO4+δ are consistent with the strongly-modulated topological-stripe concept. Clues from Nd-doped La2−xSrxCuO4 suggest similar behavior for the cuprates. The experimental results are summarized, an...
متن کاملMetallic charge stripes in cuprates
Some recent evidence for the existence of dynamic, metallic stripes in the 214-family of cuprates is reviewed. The mechanism of stripe pinning is considered, and changes in the charge density within stripes between the pinned and dynamic phases is discussed. From a purely experimental perspective, dynamic charge stripes are fully compatible with nodal “quasiparticles” and other electronic prope...
