Abstract
Polarized neutron scattering experiments were performed in a quasi-one-dimensional magnet Ca2Y2Cu5O 10, which consists of the edge-sharing CuO2 chains and shows an antiferromagnetic long-range ordering below TN = 29.5 K with ferromagnetic coupling along the chain. It is confirmed that the magnetic moments point along the b-axis perpendicular to the CuO2 plane. This result combined with that of the previous unpolarized neutron scattering experiments clearly indicates that some fraction of the magnetic moments in the CuO2 unit exists at the oxygen sites.
