La 2– x CuO 4 is a paradigmatic example to understand the physics of strongly correlated systems. The experimental results mainly from high energy electron spectroscopies have been utilized to pin point the electronic change that occurs when the system undergoes from an anti‐ferromagnetic insulator to a metallic phase with a superconducting phase in between.
