Abstract
We report a new multinuclei based nuclear magnetic resonance method which allows us to image the staggered polarization induced by nonmagnetic impurities in underdoped and slightly overdoped above . The spatial extension of the polarization approximately follows a Curie law, increasing up to six lattice constants at at in the pseudogap regime. Near optimal doping, the staggered magnetization has the same shape, with reduced by a factor 2. is argued to reveal the intrinsic magnetic correlation length of the pure system. It is found to display a smooth evolution through the pseudogap regime.
