摘要
We report magnetization and neutron scattering measurements of the half-doped compound La(1.5)Sr(0.5)CoO(4), which exhibits a checkerboard pattern of charge ordering below similar to 800 K. In the antiferromagnetically-ordered phase below similar to 40 K the spins are found to be canted in the ab plane. The spin excitation spectrum includes spin-wave excitations with a maximum energy of 16 meV, and diffuse magnetic modes at energies around 30 meV. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
