Abstract

Thermoelectric power in the charge-compensated 1:2:3 family (CaxLa1−x)(Ba1.75−xLa0.25+x)Cu3Oy shows that doping occurs also under isoelectronic (constant electron concentration) conditions obtained by keeping the oxygen content y constant. For all values of x and y there exists a single doping parameter y−yM−I(x), where yM−I is the value of y at the metal-insulator transition, suggesting that a single mobile band controls transport and superconductor properties. Isoelectronic doping occurs via capture of mobile electrons by lower-lying low-mobility states, requiring either a shift of the band relative to these states or transfer of spectral density near the Fermi energy.
