L. Lenoc et al., SPIN SUSCEPTIBILITY BEHAVIOR IN THE BI2SR2CAN-1CUNO2N- FROM UNDERDOPED TO OVERDOPED REGIME(4 COMPOUNDS ), Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1703-1704
We have studied the thermal behaviour of the spin susceptibility, chi,
(spin)(T), of the CuO2 planes in the normal phase. chi,(spin)(T) was m
easured by O-17 and Ca-43 NMR in various compounds of the Bi2Sr2Can-1C
unO2n+4 family : a n=3 sample almost optimally doped, an overdoped n=2
sample and a more strongly doped n=1 sample. By contrast to the under
doped case, in the overdoped one, chi,(spin)(T) increases when cooling
. Furthermore, this behaviour is enhanced by increasing the doping. ch
i,(spin)(T) is compared to the macroscopic susceptibility behaviour. O
n the other hand, our results are consistent with a decrease of the nu
mber of charge carriers per copper plane for increasing n.
