Neutron scattering experiments has revealed a fascinating interplay between the hole doping, the spin fluctuations, and the superconductivity of the cuprate superconductors. Recently, electrochemical techniques have been used to produce large single crystals of La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4+y}, which has mobile oxygen dopants. Staging behavior of the excess oxygen has been demonstrated, and the low-energy spin fluctuations in stage 6 La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4+y} have been measured. The spin fluctuations are incommensurate with the lattice and have spatial, energy, and temperature dependencies very much like those in La{sub 2-x}Sr{sub x}CuO{sub 4}, with similar high transition temperature. This establishes the universally of the incommensurate spin fluctuations among the La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4} -based superconductors. 18 refs., 6 figs.
