Abstract

Magnetic ordering phenomena in high-Tc compounds of rare earths R and Y of type R1Ba2Cu3O7-δ (R1–2–3), R1Ba2Cu4O8 (R1–2–4), R2Ba4Cu7O15-δ (R2–4–7) and of related systems, mainly based on elastic neutron scattering experiments, are the subject of the present review. Compared to previous summaries such as published in references [1–11] a rather complete, updated survey of mostly generally available publications is attempted for these classes of important layered perovskite compounds with fascinating physical properties including high-temperature superconductivity. Primary information comes from nuclear and magnetic neutron scattering. This is due to the sensitivity of thermal neutrons to light atoms such as oxygen, which form together with copper ions superconducting CuO2 planes as well as Cu-O chains providing a charge reservoir. Because of the magnetic moment of the neutron interacting with atomic magnetic moments in neutron scattering experiments, magnetic ordering phenomena and magnetic interactions may be studied by this method in a rather direct way on an atomic scale also in such relatively new materials containing magnetic Cu and rare earth ions. Investigations of phase diagrams as well as of crystal-field effects and magnetic excitations of such high-Tc superconducting compounds are covered in chapters 2, 9 and 3 of this volume, respectively.
