Abstract/Summary:
In this thesis we report measurements of the ;Our determination of the ;We have interpreted our Knight shift data within a generalized Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) pairing theory, and find that a spin-singlet pairing state is strongly favored by these data. The data are consistent with either an orbital s-wave or an orbital d-wave pairing state. While we can fit the Cu(2) data with a strong coupling energy gap, the Cu(1) data require a weak coupling gap.;During our measurements of the temperature dependence of the Cu(2) spin-lattice relaxation rates in the superconducting state (;The application of magnetic field which penetrates the CuO...
