An unusual collective spin excitation mode has been observed by inelastic neutron scattering in the high temperature superconductors YBa2Cu3O7 [1], Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 [2] and Tl2Ba2CuO6 [3] below their superconducting transition temperatures. Manifestations of a strong interaction of this mode with charged quasiparticles are apparent in photoemission and tunneling spectra, among others. This has stimulated numerous theories that ascribe a key role to spin excitations in the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity. In this talk we summarize the present situation and present some of the latest neutron data showing that some high temperature superconductors support multiple magnetic collective modes.
