TL;DR
This study investigates how an external magnetic field influences the balance between magnetic order and superconductivity in La2-xSrxCuO4, revealing a transition to a magnetically ordered state near 1/8 doping.
Contribution
It demonstrates that applying a magnetic field can tune the competing magnetic and superconducting phases in cuprate superconductors near the 1/8 anomaly.
Findings
Magnetic field induces a spin-density-wave state at 1/8 doping.
Competition between antiferromagnetic and superconducting orders is evident.
Magnetic order is fully developed under external magnetic field.
Abstract
We report the results of a combined muon spin rotation and neutron scattering study on La2-xSrxCuO4 in the vicinity of the so-called 1/8-anomaly. Application of a magnetic field drives the system towards a magnetically ordered spin-density-wave state, which is fully developed at 1/8 doping. The results are discussed in terms of competition between antiferromagnetic and superconducting order parameters.
