Doping dependent charge correlation in electron-doped cuprates.

We use resonant x-ray scattering to measure the charge order in electron-doped high-Tc superconductors and its relationship to antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. First, we establish the presence of charge order in a second family of electron-doped cuprates, LCCO thin films, with similar characteristics to previous observations in NCCO [1]. Second, doping and temperature dependent measurements of NCCO single crystals show that charge order is present in the x $=$ 0.059 to 0.166 doping range, and its doping-dependent wavevector is consistent with the separation between the hot spots on the Fermi surface. For NCCO samples near optimal doping (x $=$ 0.14) the charge order remains constant through the superconducting transition temperature and we find that magnetic fields up to 6 T have a negligible effect on its intensity. The implications of our data to the connections of charge order to antiferromagnetism and superconductivity will be discussed. [1] E. H. da Silva Neto, et al. Science 347, 282 (2015).
