Nuclear relaxation rate in d+s wave superconductor
POSTER
Abstract
The s and d wave type gap symmetries yield distinctively different results for the temperature dependence of the nuclear relaxation rate. We have calculated the nuclear relaxation rate for various amounts of s and d wave admixtures in the gap of the superconductors. It is found that the calculated values of the nuclear relaxation rate for 80\% d wave and 20\% s wave are in good agreement with the experimental measurements in 123, 124 and 247 type superconductors. Thus we find that the order parameter has mixed s+d character in the superconductors. There are several possibilities of symmetries when two gaps are taken into account such as in MgB$_2$. 1. K. N.
