Description

The electron deficiency (hole concentration) in the La/sub 2-//sub x/Sr/sub x/CuO/sub 4-//sub δ/ system is determined by a chemical method. Our results show a direct correlation between T/sub c/ and hole concentration. The hole concentration equals the Sr concentration to about x = 0.15. For x>0.15, the hole concentration decreases and oxygen vacancies are formed. These results strongly support an all-electronic mechanism for superconductivity in this system
