NMR Studies of pseudogap and electronic inhomogeneity in BSCCO-2212

ORAL

Abstract

We present O-17 NMR measurements on a single crystal of overdoped BSCCO-2212. We measure the planar oxygen's Knight shift (K), electronic field gradient (EFG), and spin lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) along each principle axis. Our analysis shows that the temperature dependence can be explained by a suppression of the density of states in the pseudogap region.
