Abstract

We calculate the electron spin susceptibility for the superconducting state of YBa2Cu3O7 using a band structure with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor hopping, a momentum-dependent spin-spin interaction, and a superconducting gap with dx2-y2 symmetry. Our calculated nuclear magnetic relaxation rates and Knight shift agree favorably with experiment. Our work provides further evidence for a dx2-y2 pairing state and demonstrates that antiferromagnetic correlations persist in the superconducting state.
