We have measured out-of-plane resistivity $\rho_c$ for La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ under anisotropic pressure. c-axis compression, which decreases $\rho_c$, reduces $T_{\rm c}$ drastically, whereas c-axis extention, which increases…

The upper critical field $H_{c2}$ is one of the many non conventional properties of high-$T_c$ cuprates. It is possible that the $H_{c2}(T)$ anomalies are due to the presence of inhomogeneities in the local charge carrier density $\rho$ of…
