Abstract:
The temperature (T) dependence of the charge-stripe order in La2-xSrxNiO4 has been investigated in the vicinity of x approximately 1/3 by synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction measurements. With decreasing T, a prominent commensurate-incommensurate (C-IC) crossover is observed in the x<1/3 region, while for the x>1/3 region the IC order is dominant over the whole T range. Such a C-IC crossover is interpreted as the entropy-driven self-doping of the charge stripes, and its x dependence indicates the clear electron-hole asymmetry with the x=1/3 compound as the Mott insulator.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
