Abstract

27Al and 63Cu NMR measurements in 3% Al-doped La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 (LSCO) have revealed that the T dependences of the Knight shift, 27K(T), and the nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate, 27(1/T1), are dominated by local moments induced at neighboring Cu sites by the Al impurity. These experiments prove that spin fluctuation of induced moments is mainly due to the local spin-exchange coupling, Jsd, with conducting holes. This novel T dependence of 27(1/T1) has led to a reliable estimation of Jsd=0.055eV, and the extraction of the Tc reduction rate, ΔTc=0.62K/Al% based on the magnetic pair-breaking scheme, which is by more than 1 order of magnitude smaller than the experimental value of ΔTc=23K/Al%.
