Spin fluctuations and superconductivity in Ba2YCu3O/sub 6+//sub δ/

  • 1. ATandT Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974

Description

We report observation of spin-pair excitations in Ba2YCu3O/sub 6+//sub δ/, with δ in the range 0.0--0.9. The frequency of the excitations, and hence the value of the exchange constant, J = 950 cm/sup -1/, is similar to that reported recently for (nonsuperconducting) La2CuO4. The present observation of magnetic excitations in a superconducting material, and of their evolution as a function of δ, demonstrate a large influence of carrier concentration on the spin-fluctuation dynamics
