NMR-NQR Studies of High-Temperature Superconductors

  • Conference paper
Solid-State NMR II

Part of the book series: NMR Basic Principles and Progress ((NMR,volume 31))

Abstract

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) played an important role in understanding “classical” superconductors such as aluminum [1] when the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory provided the first microscopic explanation of this extraordinary state of matter. Thus it was logical that soon after the discovery of the new high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) by G. Bednorz ad K. A. Müller [2], the NMR and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) community devoted much activity to these new materials. The first results which were reported by mid-1987 [3–6] dealt with many of the important parameters which can be studied by NMR/NQR such as electric field gradient, Knight shift and relaxation. In the last few years the activity has steadily expanded.

This paper reviews recent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) investigations performed in high-temperature superconductors, in particular in members of the Y-Ba-Cu-O and La-Sr-Cu-O families. The review focuses on investigations of spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times, of Knight shifts and electric field gradients in these compounds. By discussing several representative experimental studies and some present-day theories it is demonstrated how NMR/NQR studies have contributed to a better understanding of the electronic properties of high-temperature superconductors.
