Abstract

The destruction of stripe order by Zn (S=0) and the formation of a new phase by Ni (S=1) are demonstrated directly from the substitution dependence of the electronic coefficient of specific heat γ in La1.875Ba0.125Cu1yMyO4 (M=Zn or Ni). In the Zn-substitution case, γ, which is strongly suppressed by stripe phase formation, increases to a value that corresponds to the state where there is no stripe order. In the Ni-substitution case, γ saturates at nearly half the value of the Zn-substitution case. The difference can be explained by a difference in the spin interactions between the substituent atom and the nearest neighbor Cu atoms, indicating that spin interaction plays an important role in the formation of charge stripes.
