Abstract

The authors report mmeasurements of the planar Cu63 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates 63W1a (63W1c) for the static field oriented along the a (c) axis in the superconducting state of YBa2Cu3O7. These measurements were made on a single sample as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The weak-field results are well explained by several recent calculations in terms of a BCS spin-singlet, orbital-d-wave pairing state. They also find that at low temperatures 63W1c varies linearly with the applied magnetic field, suggesting that at high field it is dominated by fluxoid cores.
