Abstract

We report systematic 17O-NMR measurements on the high-Tc cuprate (CaxLa1−x)(Ba1.75−xLa0.25+x)Cu3Oy, for four different families (different x). Using Knight shift data, we show that the pseudogap opening temperature T* is much higher than Tc near optimal doping, unlike structurally similar YBCO. In addition, at constant doping the pseudogap temperature does not vary with x, in contrast to Tc. This puts constraints on the nature of the pseudogap and position of the quantum critical point inside the superconducting dome.
