Structural effects of hydrostatic pressure in orthorhombic La2-xSrxCuO4.

We have investigated the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the structure of orthorhombic La2-xSrxCuO4 between 1 atm and 0.6 GPa, using neutron powder diffraction. Increasing pressure causes the tilt angle of CuO6 octahedra to decrease, leading to a transition to tetragonal symmetry. There is a stron...
