Abstract
The spin dynamics of the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO3 has been studied by polarized and unpolarized inelastic neutron scattering techniques. The presence of a continuum of excitations and a pseudogap is discuss ed in the light of the dimensionality of the magnetic interactions and the current theories involving competing magnetic exchange interactio ns along the chain axis.
