New magnetic coherence effect in superconducting La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}

  • 12 June 1996
Abstract
We have used inelastic neutron scattering to examine the magnetic fluctuations at intermediate frequencies in the simplest high temperature superconductor, La_{2-x}Sr_{x}Cu_{4}. The suppression of the low energy magnetic response in the superconducting state is accompanied by an increase in the response at higher energies. Just above a threshold energy of ~7 meV there is additional scattering present below T_{c} which is characterised by an extraordinarily long coherence length, in excess of 50 \AA.
