Elastic neutron scattering measurements have been performed on Nd, Sr co-doped La1.55Nd0.4Sr0.05CuO4, which exhibits a structural phase transition at Ts ~ 60K from the low temperature orthorhombic Bmab phase (labelled LTO1) to the low temperature orthorhombic Pccn phase (labelled LTO2). At low temperatures, well below Ts, elastic magnetic peaks are observed at the ``diagonal'' incommensurate (IC) positions (0, 1+/-0.055, 0), with modulation direction only along the orthorhombic b-axis just as in Nd-free La1.95Sr0.05CuO4. In the present study, the one-dimensionality of the IC modulation, which is naturally explained by a stripe model, is clearly demonstrated with our "single-domain" crystal. The temperature dependence of the IC peak intensity suggests a substantial contribution from the Nd3+ spins below ~3K. Consistent with this, the L dependence of the magnetic scattering is accurately accounted for by a model in which the contribution of the Nd3+ spins is explicitly included.
