One-dimensional metallic behavior of the stripe phase in La2-xSrxCuO4

Using an exact diagonalization method within the dynamical mean-field theory we found stable stripe phases in the two-dimensional Hubbard model doped by 0.03 < delta < 0.2 holes, with a crossover from diagonal to vertical site-centered stripes at doping delta similar or equal to 0.05. The doping dependence of the size of magnetic domains and chemical potential shift Delta mu infinity - delta(2) are in quantitative agreement with the experimental results for La2-xSrxCuO4. The one-dimensional metallic behavior along the domain walls explains the observed suppression of spectral weight along the Brillouin zone diagonal.
