Nuclear Spin Relaxation and Incommensurate Magnetism in Doped Cuprates

  • 806 Accesses

Part of the NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry book series (NAII,volume 183)

Abstract

Existing data on 63Cu-nuclear spin relaxation reveal two independent relaxation processes: the one that is temperature independent we link to incommensurate peaks seen by neutrons, while the “universal” temperature dependent contribution coincides with 1/63T1(T) for two-chain YBCO 124. We argue that this new result substitutes for a “pseudogap” regime in a broad class of high-Tc cuprates and stems from the 1st order phase transition that starts well above the superconductivity Tc but becomes frustrated because of broken electroneutrality in the CuO2 plane.
