Description

Using neutron-scattering techniques, we have studied the temperature dependence of the magnetic excitations at varied energies in a high-quality single crystal of La1.85Sr0.15CuO4. This crystal exhibits a sharp superconducting transition at 33 K with nearly 100% flux exclusion. For magnetic excitation energies of 9 meV and lower, the intensity drops dramatically with decreasing temperature for temperatures below ∼150 K. However, at 12 MeV the intensity is independent of temperature between 300 and 5 K
