Abstract

An introduction to the models which are usually applied, when interpreting the NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) parameter Knight shift (K s) and spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T 1 in the normal and the superconducting state of high-temperature superconductors, is given. The different hyperfine interaction parameters involved, as well as the static and dynamic susceptibility χ(q,ω) will be discussed. I will point at those highlights as antiferromagnetic correlations, spin gap and vortex lattice dynamics which have emerged from the analysis of the NMR data.
