Abstract

We show that the recent neutron-scattering data of Shirane et al. on large, superconducting La2−xSrxCuO4 single crystals can be explained in a model with bosonic spins. A part of the spin system Bose condenses at incommensurate k points, resulting in a spiral spin structure. The rest of the spin system goes into a pair condensate, whose excitations describe the spin excitations of the spiral state. Some suggestions for experimental tests are given.
