摘要：
We present results from an inelastic neutron scattering experiment on the candidate Heisenberg spin ladder vanadyl pyrophosphate, (VO)(2)P2O7 We find evidence for a spin-wave excitation gap of E(gap) = 3.7 +/- 0.2 meV at a band minimum near Q = 0.8 Angstrom(-1). This is consistent with expectations for triplet spin waves in (VO)(2)P2O7 in the spin-ladder model and represents the first confirmation in nature of a Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin ladder.
