We performed a neutron-scattering experiment to investigate the effect of distortion of CuO2 planes on the low-energy spin correlation of La1.94-xSrxCe0.06CuO4 (LSCCO). Due to the carrier-compensation effect by co-doping of Sr and Ce, LSCCO…
Electronic band dispersions in copper oxide superconductors have kinks around 70 meV that are typically attributed to coupling of electrons to a bosonic mode. We performed angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments on…

Ignited by the discovery of the metal-insulator transition, the behaviour of low-disorder two-dimensional (2D) electron systems is currently the focus of a great deal of attention. In the strongly-interacting limit, electrons are expected…
