Description

The Hall effect has been measured at 77 K in La/sub 2-//sub x/Sr/sub x/CuO4 for the range of x in which high-temperature superconductivity is observed. Below x = 0.15 1/R/sub H/ increases linearly with x consistent with one itinerant hole per Sr atom. (The carrier density is 2.1 x 10/sup 21/ cm/sup -3/ at x = 0.15 where the superconducting transition temperature is a maximum.) Between 0.15 and 0.18 R/sub H/ drops by a factor of 30, remaining undetectable for larger x. Proposed charge-density-wave models are in conflict with the data
