Abstract

The magnetic properties of

{CaCuGe}_{2}

O_{6}

, a cuprate related to the spin-Peierls material

{CuGeO}_{3}

, were studied. The magnetic susceptibility and the magnetization curve were measured. They revealed that this compound has a spin-singlet ground state and a finite energy gap between the ground and excited states. We discuss the origin of such a property of

{CaCuGe}_{2}

O_{6}
