Abstract

The low-temperature normal-state resistivities of underdoped La2−xSrxCuO4 crystals with Tc of 20 and 35 K were studied by suppressing the superconductivity with pulsed magnetic fields of 61 T. Both in-plane resistivity ρab and out-of-plane resistivity ρc are found to diverge logarithmically as TTc→0. Logarithmic divergence is accompanied by a nearly constant anisotropy ratio, ρcρab, suggesting an unusual three-dimensional insulator.
