Abstract
Previously we have presented evidence for stripe order of holes and sp ins in La1.6-xNd0.4SrxCuO4 with x = 0.12. Here we show, via neutron di ffraction measurements of magnetic scattering that similar order occur s in crystals with x = 0.15 and 0.20. Zero-field-cooled magnetization measurements show that all three compositions are also superconducting , with the superconducting transition temperature increasing as the lo w-temperature staggered magnetization decreases. These results directl y demonstrate an intimate connection between stripe correlations and s uperconductivity.
