Title: Magnetic correlations in high T/sub c/ oxides: Neutron scattering studies

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5757612· OSTI ID:5757612

A review is given of current neutron scattering experiments on La/sub 2/minus/x/Sr/sub x/CuO/sub 4/ and Nd/sub 2/minus/x/Ce/sub x/CuO/sub 4/. Incommensurate magnetic excitations are observed in a high quality single crystal of La/sub 1.85/Sr/sub 0.15/CuO/sub 4/, which exhibits a sharp superconducting transition at 33 K. The study of magnetic correlations in the electron-superconductor Nd/sub 2/minus/x/Ce/sub x/CuO/sub 4/ is now being carried out. 18 refs., 7 figs.
