16. Density functional results, in the spin-polarized generalized gradient approximation, are also compatible with experiments [J. Ferber, Y.-Z. Zhang, H. O. Jeschke, and R. Valenti, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.82. 165102 82, 165102 (2010)].

26. For the case of doped systems, other effects, such as charge stripes [Q. Luo, D.-X. Yao, A. Moreo, and E. Dagotto, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.83.174513 83, 174513 (2011)], may be needed to quantitatively understand the transport anisotropy, which is larger than for the undoped case.
