Seems a pretty restrictive criterion, and likely to favour papers on 
technique rather than science (though I note that Rietveld's paper's do not 
qualify by your criterion :-)

Indeed the Science Citation Index itself warns about over-weighting papers 
on technique.  You have missed many other highly cited papers - for example:

Cava, R. J., Hewat, A. W., Hewat, E. A., Batlogg, B., Marezio, M., Rabe, K. 
M., Krajewski, J. J., Peck, W. F. and Rupp, L. W. (1990) Physica C. 165, 419.
Structural anomalies oxygen ordering and superconductivity in oxygen 
deficient Ba2YCu3Ox.

Hwang, H. Y., Cheong, S. W., Radaelli, P. G., Marezio, M. and Batlogg, B. 
(1995) Physical Review Letters. 75, 914.
Lattice effects on the magnetoresistance in doped LaMnO3.

Seriously I think you need to work a little harder on this if it is to be 
meaningful.
