Abstract: High-energy photon diffraction is used to investigate the charge ordering previously studied by neutron diffraction in La 1.48 Nd 0.4 Sr 0.12 CuO 4 . Besides confirming the existence of superlattice peaks due to charge order, the temperature dependence of the peak intensity, width, and position has been determined with improved precision. Furthermore, we show that the scattered intensity has a sinusoidial modulation along c *, consistent with long-range Coulomb interactions between ordered charges within the CuO 2 planes.
