Abstract

We have recently used inelastic neutron scattering to measure the magnetic excitation spectrum of La_1.875Ba_0.125CuO₄ up to 200 meV. This particular cuprate is of interest because it exhibits static charge and spin stripe order. The observed spectrum is remarkably similar to that found in superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x and La_2-xSr_xCuO₄; the main differences are associated with the spin gap. We suggest that essentially all observed features of the magnetic scattering from cuprate superconductors can be described by a universal magnetic excitation spectrum multiplied by a spin gap function with a material-dependent spin-gap energy.
