Charge Segregation, Cluster Spin Glass, and Superconductivity inLa1.94Sr0.06CuO4

Abstract
A 63Cu and 139La NMR/NQR study of superconducting (Tc=8K) La1.94Sr0.06CuO4 single crystal is reported. Coexistence of spin-glass and superconducting phases is found below 5K from 139La NMR relaxation. 63Cu and 139La NMR spectra show that, upon cooling, CuO2 planes progressively separate into two magnetic phases, one of them having enhanced antiferromagnetic correlations. These results establish the antiferromagnetic-cluster nature of the spin glass. We discuss how this phase can be related to the microsegregation of mobile holes and to the possible pinning of charge stripes.
