Abstract: | The measurements of Mössbauer effect, magnetic susceptibility and muon spin relaxation have been carried out for the high-T c superconductor La2?x Ba x CuO4. The intensity of Mössbauer doublet spectrum of the sample of x~1/8 begins to decrease rapidly at a certain temperature T m, which we define as a magnetic transition temperature T Möss. This temperature almost agrees with T μSR determined from muon spin relaxation. The quadrupole doublet disappears at low temperature below T m but a clearly splitted spectrum is not observed even at 4.2 K, which indicates a peculiar magnetic state with a wide distribution of internal magnetic field. Around x~1/8, the superconducting critical temperature T c and T m are competed each other. In conclusion, superconductivity disappears around 1/8 hole concentration and a peculiar magnetic state such as spin density wave appears. |
