Frequency dependence of the conductivity and dielectric constant of La2CuO4+y near the insulator-metal transition

  • 1. Center for Materials Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA (USA)

Description

Measurements are reported of the conductivity and the dielectric constant (ε1) at frequencies (ω) up to 20 MHz and magnetic fields up to 15 T for a single crystal of La2CuO4+y with y varied in the range 0.001-0.01. The frequency dependence of the conductivity at low temperatures follows a power law, which is typical of conventional doped semiconductors. ε1 at high ω is independent of ω and grows as the insulator to metal transition (IMT) is approached, but only for the electric field in the CuO2 layers, indicating that the IMT is two-dimensional For the highest oxygen concentration, this excess ε1 was reduced by a factor of 2 at a magnetic field of 15 T perpendicular to the CuO2 layers.layers
