Abstract

63Cu and 199Hg nuclear magnetic resonance was performed on a series of powder HgBa2CuO4+δ 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 T1 of 199Hg and 63Cu 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 (Tc=96 K) we compared our experimental results to numerical calculations of the spin-lattice relaxation rate as a function of temperature below Tc 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 2Δ/kBTc within the AF fluctuation model. The comparison with our experimental relaxation data shows that for 199Hg nuclei in the orientation B0(a,b) plane as well as for 63Cu nuclei in both orientations, B0(a,b) plane and B0c axis, the experimental results are in coincidence with the dx2y2-wave symmetry with the gap parameter 2Δ/kBTc=7.02.
