Superconducting Fluctuation Effects on the Electron Spin Susceptibility in YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.95}

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v3

Abstract

The electronic spin susceptibility of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.95} has been measured with high precision up to 24 Tesla with 17O nuclear magnetic resonance. Its temperature dependence can be accounted for by superconducting fluctuations that result in a smooth crossover from the normal to the vortex liquid state. A magnetic field-temperature phase diagram for this crossover has been established having strong upward curvature.
