Abstract

All of the copper oxide superconductors contain CuO{sub 2} layers which, when insulating, exhibit strong, two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic correlations due to the unusually large superexchange interaction between nearest-neighbor Cu{sup 2+} atoms. Magnetic correlations survive, although with a reduced correlation length, even when the layers are doped with holes. A short review of neutron scattering studies of magnetic correlations and excitations in the layered cuprates is presented. 19 refs., 6 figs.
