Effect of Strontium doping on the Oxygen Diffusion in La2−xSrxCuO4±δ samples Investigated by Oxygen Isotope Back Exchange

چکیده
Similar to LaCoO4.14, La2-xSrxCuO4±δ shows oxygen diffusion at moderate temperatures. The Oxygen Isotope Back Exchange (OIBE) experiments are done in order to investigate the effect of strontium on the oxygen diffusion in as grown single crystals of La2-xSrxCuO4±δ (x =0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15). Neutron diffraction data collected at TriCS@SINQ are in agreement with diffusion measurements achieved by oxygen back exchange. From 18 O/ 16 O isotope exchange between 40 0 C to 1000 0 C free oxygen mobility can be realized for x = 0, 0.05 below 500 0 C but is depressed for x = 0.1 and 0.15. This gives evidence that low temperature oxygen mobility can be suppressed by replacing La with Sr. First crystal test using neutron single crystal diffraction proved the high quality of the samples.

The Isotope Effect in Superconductors
We review some aspects of the isotope effect (IE) in superconductors. Our focus is on the influence of factors not related to the pairing mechanism. After summarizing the main results obtained for conventional superconductors, we review the effect of magnetic impurities, the proximity effect and non-adiabaticity on the value of the isotope coefficient (IC). We discuss the isotope effect of Tc a...
متن کاملDifferent doping from apical and planar oxygen vacancies in Ba2CuO4−δ and La2CuO4−δ: First-principles band structure calculations
First-principles band structure calculations for large supercells of Ba2CuO4−δ and La2CuO4−δ with different distributions and concentrations of oxygen vacancies show that the effective doping on copper sites strongly depends on where the vacancy is located. A vacancy within the Cu layer produces a weak doping effect while a vacancy located at an apical oxygen site acts as a stronger electron do...

The influence of lattice strain on the oxygen exchange kinetics and diffusion in oxides was investigated on (100) epitaxial La1-xSrxCoO3-δ (LSC) thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition. Planar tensile and compressively strained LSC films were obtained on single-crystalline SrTiO3 and LaAlO3. 18O isotope exchange depth profiling with ToF-SIMS was employed to simultaneously measure the tracer...
متن کاملNominal doping and partition of doped holes between planar and apical orbitals in La2−xSrxCuO4
By considering both the average structural parameters obtained from Rietveld refinement of neutron powder diffraction data, and the local structural parameters obtained from the atomic pair distribution function, we have tested the recent hypothesis of Perry et al. Phys. Rev. B 65, 144501 2002 that doping in a La2−xSrxCuO4 system occurs as localized defects of predominantly Cud3z2−r2-Opz charac...

We report a resistive investigation of superconductivity in the system La2 xSrxCuO4 y on samples which have been analysed by thermogravimetric techniques for oxygen deficiency determination. A maximum superconductive transition temperature is observed in La2 xSrxCuO4 y near the tetragonal-orthorhombic phase transition, together with a resurgence of high temperature superconductivity in non-subs...
