One interesting feature in the hole doped cuprates is the depression of the superconducting transition temperature at certain hole doping fractions. The 1/8 depression in La_2−xSr_xCuO₄(LSCO) [1] is widely accepted, and can be interpreted in terms of static stripes [2] - but also by a structural tetragonal-orthorhombic (LTT-LTO) phase transition [3]. In our view the structural interpretation can be ruled out, as additional to 1/8 other fractional depressions were deduced for LSCO (i.e. at 1/16; 3/32; 1/8; 3/16 ) [4]. But these fractions may also violate the stripe picture, as they can not be interpreted by a static one-dimensional arrangement of holes in the CuO₂-plane but by a two-dimensional one. Despite one controversial report [5] in the Bismuth cuprates the knowledge of the existence or non existence of such fractions is very poor. We will show that also in the one-layer Bismuth cuprate the depressions at certain hole doping fractions exist which are equal to the fractions found by [4]. This may point to a generality of magic doping fractions in the cuprates.
