Description

We report the magnetization M(H,T) of La2Cu1-xZnxO4-y for x varying from 0.00 to 0.03. A suppression of the Neel temperature as a function of doping is observed. In contrast, neutron-diffraction experiments show that the low-temperature macroscopic ordered magnetic moment on the copper sites does not change as a function of doping. For applied fields larger than Hc(T), the susceptibility as a function of temperature for the doped samples does not show an obvious signature of ordering at TN. This is consistent with the material having a macroscopic ferromagnetic moment below TN for H>Hc(T)
