Abstract In this article, the influence of La substitution for Sr on structure and physi-cal properties of the 2201 phase is studied. First, the crystal microstructure of the Bi2.1Sr1.9-xLaxCuOy (0≤x≤1.0) is characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction analyses, it is discovered that in the La-doped 2201 system with increasing La content the 2201 phase undergoes tetragnoal-orthorhombic-monoclinic structural transition. With this phase transition, the modulation vector of the 2201 phase transforms from incommensurate to commensurate, and the period of the mod- ulation wave decreases. Secondly, the superconductivity of this system is analyzed systematically. The results of the resistivity measurement show that the appropriate amount of La doping can raise the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of the 2201 phase, with x=0.2, Tc reaches as high as 25K. However the excessive doping of La (x≥0.3) leads the 2201 phase to transit from metal to insulator and the su-perconductivity disappears. The measurement of thermoelectric power (TEP) of this system shows that with increasing La content the TEP value also increases gradu-ally. But the interesting point is that the transition from positive to negative in TEP occurs for x=0.2 sample. In addition, the electronic structure and oxygen content of this system are also studied. Based on these, we analyze the relation between the microstructure, electronic structure of the La-doped 2201 phase and its superconduc-tivity, indicating that the type of element substitution with higher valence, together with the microstructural distortion induced by the substitution affects the electronic states of Cu 3d seriously, that is, changes the degree of coulomb correlation of Cu 3d electrons, thus resulting in the transition of the type of carrier of this system and the decrease of hole carrier concentration, as well as the corresponding variation of the superconductivity of La-doped 2201 phase.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
