RUI: Magnetic Properties of High Tc Superconductors and their Parent Compounds

我们以前的工作表明，电子自旋共振(ESR)是一种简单而灵敏的方法，可以通过Gd3+谱的变化来研究铜氧化物超导体母体化合物中CuO2平面的磁性有序。我们建议将我们的研究扩展到超导掺杂的衍生物。%%%由于这些化合物具有很强的磁相关性，ESR的微观特性很可能是最终解释高温超导电性的一个重要因素。

Our previous work has demonstrated that Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is a simple and highly sensitive method to investigate, through changes in the Gd3+ spectra, the magnetic ordering of the CuO2 planes in the parent compounds of the copper oxide superconductors. We propose to extend our research to the doped derivatives that are superconducting. % % % Owing to the strong magnetic correlations in these compounds, it is likely that the microscopic specificity of ESR will be an important contributor to the eventual explanation of high- temperature superconductivity.
