Title: Magnetic phase transition and electronic anomalies in La{sub 1.96{minus}x}Y{sub 0.04}Sr{sub x}CuO{sub 4} around x{approximately}1/8

Journal Article · · Journal of Low Temperature Physics

La-NMR, Hall coefficient and sound velocity have been measured in order to investigate the correlation between the magnetic ordering, the prominent change of transport properties, the suppression of {Tc} and the structural transformation around x{approximately}1/8 in La{sub 1.96{minus}x}Y{sub 0.04}Sr{sub x}CuO{sub 4}. by the substitution of 0.04/2 Y for La-sites, the structural transformation to the low temperature tetragonal phase (LTT) is caused at 57{+-}14 K for samples around x{approximately}0.115. The prominent decrease of the Hall coefficient followed by the sign reversal and the magnetic ordering are observed around x{approximately}0.115 below temperatures T{sub s} and T{sub N}, respectively. T{sub s} vs x shows a bell shaped curve with the maximum value of 65 K at x{approximately}0.115 where most prominent suppression of {Tc} appears. T{sub N} shows similar x dependence to T{sub s} with the maximum value of 40 K at x{approximately}0.115. The change of the electronic state below T{sub s} and the suppression of {Tc} become more prominent and the magnetic ordering is observed more wide range of x under the LTT phase.
