Detailed process of the singlet formation in high-T-c oxides and quantum sp
in systems with a spin gapped ground state have been studied by various kin
ds of measurements including neutron inelastic scattering. The results can
provide a physical picture how the anomalous metallic phase is formed and h
ow the superconductivity appears in high-ir, oxides as the temperature is l
