High-energy photon diffraction is used to investigate the charge order
ing previously studied by neutron diffraction in La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4
. Besides confirming the existence of superlattice peaks due to charge
order, the temperature dependence of the peak intensity, width, and p
osition has been determined with improved precision. Furthermore, we s
how that the scattered intensity has a sinusoidial modulation along c
, consistent with long-range Coulomb interactions between ordered char
ges within the CuO2 planes.
