Drastic change of electrical conductivity in Pr2CuO4 by isovalent La doping†
Abstract
How to affect the transport properties of complex oxides was considered using the uncommon example of Pr2−xLaxCuO4. It was established that appropriate La doping in Pr2CuO4 leads to a noticeable increase in high-temperature electrical conductivity. The reason for such changes are discussed from the viewpoint of possible charge redistribution in Pr2−xLaxCuO4.
