Analysis of NMR data in the superconducting state of YBa2Cu3O7

Abstract
We have extended a weak-coupling theory of antiferromagnetic fluctuations to the superconducting state and analyzed NMR data for YBa2 Cu3 O7. Within this framework we find that while an s-wave gap structure with 2Δ(0)/kTc=4 can fit the Knight-shift data for Cu(2) and O(2,3), it does not provide a satisfactory fit to the T11 data. Using a dx2-y2-wave gap with 2Δ(0)/kTc of order 6 to 8 provides a reasonable fit to both the Knight-shift and T11 data.
