Stripe order is a complex pattern of spins and charge in the CuO2-planes of doped layered cuprates and NiO2 planes of the isostructural nickelates. Neutron diffraction finds that spin order decays at about 40 K lower temperatures than charge order, while stripe-like magnetic correlations can be found up to higher temperatures. In resonant soft x-ray diffraction this difference between the two orders is less pronounced, but an intriguing loss of spatial coherence at low temperatures is found for both orders, which is not seen by neutron diffraction. In order to understand the interplay between spin and charge order better, we carried out a comparative study of the temperature dependence of both signals as well of their non-equilibrium behaviour upon pumping with a ps-IR-laser pulse. Preliminary results show that both degrees of freedom behave in a similar way. Supported by the DFG through SFB 608, by the BMBF through projects 05 S3XBA/5 and 05 KS7PK1, and by the HZB.
