【 摘 要 】

Experimental realizations of model magnetic systems--ones in which the interactions between the magnetic ions have a particularly simple form--are test-beds for our fundamental understanding of magnetic phenomena. If we are to understand the unusual properties of complex and potentially useful materials in which magnetism plays an important role, such as colossal magnetoresistive oxides or high temperature superconductors, we must also understand the properties of simple systems. SrCuO{sub 2} is an example of a one-dimensional magnetic system in which the characteristic energy of excitations from the magnetic ground state is comparable to that of charge motion along the chains. Our results show that the spectrum of magnetic excitations is nevertheless well described by that for the limiting case when charge and spin dynamics are separable.
