Abstract

In the inorganic spin-Peierls compound CuGeO₃, we found a pronounced anisotropic magnetic energy dispersion, i.e. intra-chain exchange J_c ≈ 10.4 meV, inter-chain exchanges J_b ≈ 0.1 J_c and J_a ≈ - 0.01J_c and gap energy 2.1 meV extrapolated to T = 0 K. We also observed critical scattering at (0, 1, 1/2) above T_sp. The ratio of the correlation lengths ξ_c/ξ_b is in good agreement with that obtained from X-ray scattering at (1/2, 1, 1/2) by Pouget et al. This fact suggests that the Cu²⁺ spins fluctuate to form singlet-pair short-range order, but not to form ordinary antiferromagnetic order above T_sp.
