Calculation of the nuclear quadrupole resonance spectra of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/minus/x/

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5757607
Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies on /sup 63,65/Cu have demonstrated the the resonance properties of these nuclei can give important information about the electronic structure of the high temperature superconductor YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/minus/x/ as well as the exchange coupling energy between the Cu(2) sites. Measurements for various oxygen stoichiometries have given insight into the effect of oxygen content on the valence state of the Cu. In the work reported here, the electric field gradient (EFG) tensors at the Cu(1) and Cu(2) sites in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/minus/x/, have been determined from calculations on large clusters for x = 0 and 1. 13 refs., 2 tabs.
