Logarithmic Divergence of both In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Normal-State Resistivities of Superconducting La2xSrxCuO4 in the Zero-Temperature Limit

Abstract
The low-temperature normal-state resistivities of underdoped La2xSrxCuO4 crystals with Tc of 20 and 35 K were studied by suppressing the superconductivity with pulsed magnetic fields of 61 T. Both in-plane resistivity ρab and out-of-plane resistivity ρc are found to diverge logarithmically as TTc0. Logarithmic divergence is accompanied by a nearly constant anisotropy ratio, ρcρab, suggesting an unusual three-dimensional insulator.
