E. Torikai et al., PROBING INTERACTION OF PARAMAGNETIC ELECTRON WITH CONDUCTION ELECTRONS IN HIGH T-C SUPERCONDUCTOR LASRCUO BY (MU-O-) SPIN RELAXATION, Hyperfine interactions, 105(1-4), 1997, pp. 175-179
The paramagnetic (mu(-)O) state formed at the oxygen site in high T-c
LaSrCuO was used to probe an interaction between the localized moment
of the paramagnetic electron and the conduction electrons via zero fie
ld mu(-) spin relaxation. The enhanced relaxation rates consistently o
bserved in the superconducting state of various Sr concentrations are
explained as an effect of spin-pairing in the high T-c supercurrent.
