Abstract

We report a spin-echo double resonance study of the plane Cu sites in the superconducting state of nearly optimally doped Y2Ba4Cu7O15 employing nuclear quadrupole resonance. The detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the indirect in-plane and interplane spin-spin relaxation rate reveals two results: (i) In the normal conducting state, strong antiferromagnetic correlations exist between adjacent CuO2 layers. (ii) In the superconducting state, the electronic spin polarization transfer between these layers is drastically reduced for decreasing temperature. Both findings are consistent with the interlayer tunneling model.
