Theory of disordered stripes in hole-doped La2−xSrxCoO4 — •Matthias Vojta — Technische Universität Dresden, Germany
The compounds La2−xSrxCoO4 are isostructural to the 214 family of cuprate superconductors, but remain insulating over a wide doping range. Recently, the x=1/3 compound was found to display a peculiar type of magnetism, with short-ranged static antiferromagnetic order and an hour-glass-like excitation spectrum, not unlike some cuprates. We argue that a scenario of disordered charge stripes, formed by Co2+ and Co3+ ions, is consistent with the experimental data. In particular, we calculate the magnetic excitation spectrum in the disordered charge background and discuss possible origins of the stripe disorder.
