Bulk magnetic properties and phase diagram of Li-doped La2CuO4:: Common magnetic response of hole-doped CuO2 planes -: art. no. 184512

Although La2Cu1-xLixO4 (Li-LCO) differs from La2-xSrxCuO4 (Sr-LCO) in many ways (e.g., the absence of metallic transport, high-T-c superconductivity, and incommensurate antiferromagnetic correlations), it has been known that certain magnetic properties are remarkably similar. The present work establishes the detailed bulk magnetic phase diagram of Li-LCO (0less than or equal toxless than or equal to0.07), which is found to be nearly identical to that of lightly-doped Sr-LCO, and therefore extends the universality of the phase diagram to hole-doped but nonsuperconducting cuprates.
