Abstract X-ray induced photoelectron spectroscopy, bremsstrahlung-isochromat spectroscopy, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy were used to investigate the electronic structure of the high-temperature superconductor La2−x Sr x CuO4. In general, good agreement was obtained with band structure calculations of the tetragonal phase of La2CuO4. Near the Fermi energyE F the systems shows forx=0 a smeared out gap or a region of very low density of states ∼2eV wide. Upon replacement of La by Sr, the gap is filled with defect states, the intensity of which is proportional tox. The experimental data are not consistent with the closing of a Peierls gap alone.
