We investigate the magnetic properties of the Cu-O planes in stoichiometric Srn−1Cun+1O2n (n=3,5,7,...) which consist of CuO double chains periodically intergrown within the CuO2 planes. The double chains break up the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic planes into Heisenberg spin ladders with nr = 1 2 (n − 1) rungs and nl = 12 (n + 1) legs and described by the usual antiferromagnetic coupling J ...
