Description

In this paper the authors review results of a series of muon spin rotation (μSR) studies extending down to milli Kelvin temperatures in order to explore the existence of magnetic correlations below TC in the La2-xSrxCuO4 system. Evidence is presented for the existence of local magnetic fields thought to originate from Cu electronic moments in both superconducting La2-xSrxCuO4 and in superconducting oxygen deficient YBa2Cu3O6.6. μSR results are also presented for oxygen deficient and superconducting GdBa2Cu3O6+x samples. Some discussion of the relevance of these results to recent proposals for pairing mechanisms is presented
