meV, progressively decreases with over-doping. This strongly suggests that the magnetism is not related to Fermi surface nesting, but rather is associated with a decreasing volume fraction of (probably fluctuating) antiferromagnetic bubbles.

In the spirit of further exploring this region, we have performed the first known 
SR measurements of heavily overdoped single-crystalline LaSrCuO. We discovered an anomalous field-induced broadening of the internal magnetic field distribution. The broadening is linear in applied field and has a Curie-Weiss temperature dependence. Furthermore, the effect increases with doping above 
and is maximal at our highest doping (
). Possible relaxation mechanisms are discussed.

OCl has two penetrating square Cu sublattices, one with square root 2 times the in-plane spacing of the other. Isotropic magnetic interactions between the two sublattices are completely frustrated. Quantum fluctuations resolve the intrinsic degeneracy in the ordering direction of the more weakly coupled sublattices in favor of collinear ordering. We present neutron scattering and magnetization studies of the magnetic structure when the Cu ions are substituted with Co. The Co pairs create new magnetic interactions between the two sublattices. The ordering behavior of both Cu sublattices is retained largely unmodified. Between the phase transitions of the two sublattices spin-glass behavior is observed. Magnetization results show a strong enhancement to the ferromagnetic aspect of the magnetic structure. The combination of glassy behavior and large moments strongly suggest that the Co moments induce the formation of local canted states.

A comparison of the Curie behaviour between Zn-doped and Zn-free samples signifies a general competitive relationship between the superconductivity and the induced paramagnetic moment. Neutron scattering measurements show that Zn-substitution in overdoped LSCO anomalously enhances the inelastic magnetic scattering spectra around the

Spin excitations of LSCO in the overdoped regime has been studied by neutron scattering. Incommensurate excitations around 6 meV which are clearly observed in the sample decrease with as doping increases, and finally, become unobservable at coincidentally with the disappearance of bulk superconductivity. High-energy measurements performed at the MAPS spectrometer show remarkably weakened magnetic excitations of the overdoped samples also in the high energy region. These observations are apparently consistent with a microscopic phase separation of the overdoped samples into the superconducting and Fermi liquid phases based on muSR results. In contrast, magnetization measurements of overdoped LSCO with and without Zn impurities have revealed that the superconductivity vanishes in the overdoped regime as a result of a competition between the superconductivity and paramagnetism which is induced even in the Zn-free overdoped LSCO.

Neutron scattering experiments have been performed on the overdoped LaSrCuO (). Low energy magnetic excitations ( meV) show incommensurate peaks for the superconducting samples with a maximum at 
meV in the energy spectrum. As doping increases, the maximum of the dynamic susceptibility decreases linearly with and, finally, the low energy excitations become unobservable at coincidentally with the disappearance of bulk superconductivity. Time-of-flight measurements revealed that magnetic excitations for are markedly suppressed in the intermediate energy range (
meV), which is apparently consistent with a microscopic phase separation into a superconducting region which retains the antiferromagnetic correlations and a Fermi liquid region which has no magnetic correlations.

Sr
CuO with intent to elucidate a possible effects of stripe structure to the spin dynamics. Low energy (
meV) data demonstratre that in the former sample, which has a well-ordered stripe state with Cu spins lying in the CuO plane at 10 K, spins fluctuate only in the plane. On the other hand, the latter sample, which has very weak stripe order, shows isotropic spin fluctuation. This implies that low energy magnetic excitations are stringly affected by the stripe order.

To study effects of the stripe structure to the magnetic excitations in the high- cuprates, we have performed polarized neutron scattering study on LaBaCuO and LaSrCuO. The former shows robust stripe order whereas the latter has only weak order of stripes. The former shows spin fluctuations which are confined in the CuO plane, correspondingly to the confinement of the ordered spins in the plane. The latter shows nearly isotropic spin fluctuations. These observations imply that the low-energy spin excitations are strongly affected by the stripe order, which is important to understand the origin of the universal magnetic dispersion in the high- cuprates.
