Zn-Doping Dependence of Stripe Order in La1.905Ba0.095CuO4

The effect of Zn-doping on the stripe order in La1.905Ba0.095CuO4 has been studied by means of x-ray and neutron diffraction as well as magnetization measurements. While 1% Zn leads to an increase of the spin stripe order, it unexpectedly causes a wipe out of the visibility of the charge stripe order. A magnetic field of 10 Tesla applied along the c-axis has no reversing effect on the charge order. We compare this observation with the Zn-doping dependence of the crystal structure, superconductivity, and normal state magnetism.
