LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A very large oxygen-isotope shift of the charge-stripe ordering temperature in the high-temperature superconductors La2-xSrxCuO4 has been observed using x-ray absorption spectroscopy, a fast (~10-15 seconds) and local probe (~5 Å). Upon replacing 16O with 18O, the charge-stripe ordering temperature in La1.94Sr0.06CuO4 increases from about 110 K to 180 K. The present results provide compelling evidence for a strong electron-phonon interaction in this compound, and thus place important constraints on the microscopic origin of the stripe formation.
