High-temperature cuprate superconductors often have dynamic and sometimes static magnetic order, which coexist with superconductivity. Underdoped La_2-xSr_xCuO₄ has static magnetic order when x<0.14. At higher doping, the static magnetic order is destroyed and a spin-gap opens when it is optimally- or slightly over-doped. We present recent neutron scattering results, which show that applied magnetic field induces static magnetic order in La_2-xSr_xCuO₄.
