cA systematic study is performed of the doping dependence of the chemical potential µ in La2−xSrxCuO4 as a function of Sr content, using a well-characterized series of pellets and thin films. The measured shift of the chemical potential, as deduced from the changes in the photoelectron spectra, is compared with present models for the doping behaviour of µ in high-Tc materials. The results obtained can be best described assuming µ shifts due to the doping of a rigid narrow band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
