Microwave Absorption by Charge Density Waves in La2–xSrxCuO4

Resumo

The results of studying the La_2–xSr_xCuO₄ (x = 0.077−0.195) crystals with the microwave absorption, direct current resistance and magnetic susceptibility measurements are presented. The doping-temperature phase diagram with the boundaries of the areas with charge density waves, superconducting fluctuation and the bulk superconductivity state is plotted. The doping range of the charge density wave existence is found to be broader than that obtained from the X-Ray Diffraction study. It spreads at least down to x = 0.077.
