Research Abstract

In order to reveal microscopic mechanism of the formation of Cooper pairs in high transition temperature (T_c) superconducting cuprates, we have investigated Ni-doping effect on spin dynamics by inelastic neutrons scattering. We have found that the waist energy of the hourglass shaped dispersion, E_<cross>. shift to lower energies with holding linear relationship to T_c, which is analogous to the isotope effect in BCS-type superconductors. Our findings indicate that antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations near E_<cross> play an important role on the formation of Cooper pairs in high-T_c cuprates.
