Abstract EN

It is shown that electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) can be used to observe the spin gap in copper oxide superconductors.

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the Cu2+ ion in underdoped Hg.77Pb.33Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+x show a pronounced decrease in intensity in the normal state as the temperature is lowered to 133 K, the superconducting transition temperature of the material.

The decrease is attributed to a pairing of the Cu2+ s=1/2 spins to form a spin gap.

A spin gap of 0.0533 eV is estimated from the data which is in order of magnitude agreement with values obtained from NMR measurements.
