The relatively low Tc of Bi2Sr2CuO6+D allows to study normal-state down to low temperatures and the non-substituted compound is intrinsically strongly overdoped. Hole concentration can be adjusted trough oxygen excess, but few data exist in…
Oxygen nonstoichiometry, electrical conductivity and thermal expansion of La2 xSrxNiO4-\delta phases with high levels of strontium substitution (1 =< x =< 1.4) have been investigated in air and oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range…
The longstanding notion of stripe incommensurability being proportional to doping, \delta(x) ~ x, in lanthanum transition-metal oxides, La_{2-x}Sr_xTmO_4 (Tm = Cu, Ni, Co), is partly borne out by experiment but also plagued with exceptions.…
We present a detailed room temperature x-ray powder diffraction study on La2-xSrxNiO4+d with 0<=x<=0.12 and 0<=d<=0.13. For x=0.02, 0.04 and 0.06 the oxygen content phase diagrams of the Sr doped samples show a similar sequence of pure…

Short-range lattice superstructures have been studied with high-energy x-ray diffuse scattering in underdoped, optimally doped, and overdoped $\rm (Y,Ca)Ba_2 Cu_3 O_{6+x}$. A new four-unit-cell superstructure was observed in compounds with…
We analyze the results of point-contact measurements in La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} (LSCO) previously reported as a clear evidence of the separation between gap and pseudogap in this copper oxide. Here we show that, in addition to this, the…
La$_2$NiO$_{4+\delta}$ has attracted increasing interest in recent years, both as oxygen electrode in solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysers due to its high electrochemical activity at intermediate to high temperatures, and as key…
Inelastic light-scattering spectra of underdoped ${\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4}$ (LSCO) single crystals are presented which provide direct evidence of the formation of quasi one-dimensional charged structures in the two-dimensional $\rm CuO_2$…
The anelastic spectrum of La{2-x}Sr{x}CuO{4} (x = 0, 0.008, 0.019, 0.032) has been measured down to 1.5 K, in order to see the effect of doping on the intrinsic lattice fluctuations already found in stoichiometric La{2}CuO{4}, and…
Charge-order stripes of different types occur when copper oxides are doped with either heterovalent metal, like $La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$, or oxygen, like $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+y}$. The difference shows up in the doping dependence of their…

We have grown a single crystal of La_2-x_Sr_x_CuO_4_ in which the Sr concentration, x, continuously changes from 0.24 to 0.29 in the overdoped regime and obtained many pieces of single crystals with different x values by slicing the single…
