Static and dynamic Cu NMR tensors of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub delta/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
The authors report single-crystal Cu NMR data for YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub delta/ (T/sub c/ = 90 K). The shift tensor K/sub ..cap alpha..//sub ..cap alpha../ (..cap alpha.. = a,b,c), the electric-field-gradient tensor ..nu../sub ..cap alpha..//sub ..cap alpha../, and the spin-lattice-relaxation-rate tensor are reported for Cu atoms in the planes and chains. The authors show that a model in which both chain and plane Cu are approximated as Cu/sup 2+/ ions with a net spin accounts for the field-gradient tensor and the shift tensor at both chain and plane sites, and for the relaxation rate at the plane sites.
