Abstract

The bilayer structure of YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x supports spin excitations that are either even or odd under a symmetry operation that exchanges two directly adjacent CuO₂ layers. Both types of excitation have been observed in underdoped YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x by inelastic neutron scattering. Even and odd response functions are split in energy. The temperature evolution in the normal state is parallel in both channels, but different behavior is observed in the superconducting state where a resonant enhancement is observed only in the odd channel. The measurements shed new light on the nature of interlayer interactions in the cuprates.
