摘要
We study the properties of generalized striped phases of doped cuprate planar quantum antiferromagnets. Wi: invoke an effective, spatially anisotropic, nonlinear sigma model in two space dimensions. Our theoretical predictions are in quantitative agreement with recent experiments in La2-xSrxCuO4 with 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.018. We focus on (i) the magnetic correlation length, (ii) the staggered magnetization at T = 0, and (iii) the Neel temperature, as functions of doping, using parameters determined previously and independently for this system. These results support the proposal that the low doping (antiferromagnetic) phase of the cuprates has a striped configuration.
