Evidence for s+d wave pairing in copper oxides superconductors from an analysis of NMR and NQR data

ORAL

Abstract

Knight shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate data of high temperature copper oxide superconductors are analyzed within a two-band model for superconductivity with coupled s+d wave superconducting gaps. The two-gap approach leads to substantial modifications of the coherence factors, which reflects itself in the Knight shift and the relaxation rate 1/T$_{1}$T. From the analysis it is concluded that the data are consistent with 40{\%} s-wave and 60{\%} d-wave gap admixtures in agreement with earlier penetration depth data.
