Cu NMR and NQR Studies of High-Tc Superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4.

Results of extensive Cu NMR and NQR studies in the superconducting La 2- x Sr x CuO 4 with x =0.075∼0.24 have been presented. The rapid decrease of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, 1/ T 1 , and the spin Knight shift below T c confirm microscopically the existence of the superconducting phase with lower T c than 38 K for 0.10 ≤ x ≤0.24. For x =0.10, magnetic anomalies emerge at low- T in some small parts of the sample, e.g . T -independent T 1 and broadening of spectrum, having some relevance to the magnetic order in La 2- x Ba x CuO 4 with x =0.125. For x >0.15, the T 1 T =const. behavior and the existence of the residual spin Knight shift far below T c have revealed that the superconductivity is of a gapless type with a finite density of states at the Fermi level caused by the mixture of different structures, i.e. tetragonal and orthorhombic.
