Abstract

Effects of the partial substitution of Ce for La on the superconductivity and the low-temperature structural phase transition have been investigated in La_2-xBa_xCuO₄. The local minimum of T_c as a function of Ba concentration x, appearing near x = 0.125 for La_2-xBa_xCuO₄, clearly shifts to x = 0.145 for La_1.98-xCe_0.02Ba_xCuO₄. The range of x, where a resistance minimum relating to the low-temperature structural phase transition appears, shifts to that of larger x values, too. These suggest that the low-temperature structural phase transition around x = 0.125 in La_2-xBa_xCuO₄ is due to the optimum hole concentration of 0.125 per Cu atom rather than plausible atomic ordering of La and Ba.
