Abstract

The general magnetic response function χ(Q,ω) of a superconducting (Tc=33 K) single crystal of La1.86Sr0.14CuO4 is measured using inelastic neutron scattering. There is no gap in the magnetic fluctuation spectrum of the normal state. Superconductivity reduces χ’’(Q,ω) in progressively greater proportion as ħω decreases below 6 meV. The superconducting transition coincides with a sharp maximum in the temperature-dependent χ’’(Q,ω) for ħω=4 meV and Q fixed at the incommensurate wave vector characterizing the magnetic fluctuations in the normal state.
