A series of high-quality single crystals of ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Zn}}_{x}\mathrm{Ge}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ have been examined by neutron-scattering techniques. An antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering is confirmed for four samples in the range $0.009&lt;~x&lt;~0.047$, in complete agreement with previous reports. We show that the spin-Peierls (SP) phase transition persists to 4.7% Zn, whereas previous magnetic-susceptibility measurements reported …
