Abstract
We report an electron spin resonance (ESR) study of single crystals of the spin-chain spin-ladder compound (Sr, La, Ca)14Cu24O41. The data suggest that in intrinsically hole doped Sr14-xCaxCu24O41, only a small amount of holes is transferred from the chains to the ladders with increasing x, resulting in a crossover from spin dimerized to uniform spin chains. In the samples of La14-xCaxCu24O41 with reduced hole content a very broad signal is observed in the paramagnetic state, indicative of a surprisingly strong anisotropy of the nearest neighbor exchange in the chains.
