Magnetic susceptibility of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/Delta//gamma//

Journal Article · · Int. J. Mod. Phys. B; (United States)

Magnetic properties of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/-/Delta//nu/ was investigated by dc- and ac-magnetic susceptibility as a function of oxygen deficiency /Delta/y. The susceptibility in the normal state at low temperatures is dominated by the Curie-Weiss law, while the susceptibility at high temperatures deviates from the Curie-Weiss law. The deviations were successfully explained by assuming the triplet spin-pair excitation from the antiferromagnetically coupled Cu/sup 2+/ ions in the ground state.
