The authors examined the doping dependence of Ishibashi's free energy function for La{sub 2{minus}x}Ba{sub x}CuO{sub 4}, which describes the successive HTT {yields} LTO {yields} LTT phase transitions of this doped La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4} system, in terms of the tolerance factor and the local steric pressure effect of the dopant. On the basis of these microscopic considerations, they explained the general trends in the doping dependence of the HTT {yields} LTO and the LTO {yields} LTT transition temperatures in other doped La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4} systems.
