Abstract
and nuclear magnetic resonance was performed on a series of powder samples with different oxygen content δ in order to study the influence of oxygen doping on the spin dynamics in the normal and superconducting state. The spin-lattice relaxation time of and nuclei were measured over a wide range of temperature at different orientations of the crystallites with respect to the magnetic field. For the optimally doped sample =96 K) we compared our experimental results to numerical calculations of the spin-lattice relaxation rate as a function of temperature below for several types of the order parameter symmetry: isotropic s wave, anisotropic s wave without nodes, s wave with nodes, and d wave, using the different values of the gap parameter within the AF fluctuation model. The comparison with our experimental relaxation data shows that for nuclei in the orientation plane as well as for nuclei in both orientations, plane and axis, the experimental results are in coincidence with the -wave symmetry with the gap parameter .
