Abstract

The thermoelectric power, Hall coefficient, and resistivity have been measured on two samples of La2−xSrxCuO4 with a strontium content of x=0.2 and x=0.25. We observe typical metallic behavior with a strong electron-phonon interaction and a low density of carriers. A large positive peak at a temperature of more than twice the respective superconducting transition temperature suggests a strong phonon-drag contribution to the thermopower. At higher temperatures the thermopower changes sign from positive to negative, a trend that increases with increasing Sr content. A positive Hall coefficient combined with a negative diffusion thermopower implies the presence of more than one type of carrier.
