Correlations Between Charge Ordering and Local Magnetic Fields in Overdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$

Superconductivity 2009-11-07 v4

Abstract

Zero-field muon spin relaxation (ZF-μ\muSR) measurements were undertaken on under- and overdoped samples of superconducting YBa2_2Cu3_3O6+x_{6+x} to determine the origin of the weak static magnetism recently reported in this system. The temperature dependence of the muon spin relaxation rate in overdoped crystals displays an unusual behavior in the superconducting state. A comparison to the results of NQR and lattice structure experiments on highly doped samples provides compelling evidence for strong coupling of charge, spin and structural inhomogeneities.
