Abstract
The formation of a local moment around a zinc impurity in the high-Tc cuprate superconductors is studied within the framework of the bosonic resonating-valence-bond (RVB) description of the t−J model. A topological origin of the local moment has been shown based on the phase string effect in the bosonic RVB theory. It is found that such an S=1∕2 moment distributes near the zinc in a form of staggered magnetic moments at the copper sites. The corresponding magnetic properties, including NMR spin-relaxation rate, uniform spin susceptibility, and dynamic spin susceptibility, etc., calculated based on the theory, are consistent with the experimental measurements. Our work suggests that the zinc substitution in the cuprates provides important experimental evidence for the RVB nature of local physics in the original (zinc-free) state.
