Description

The Cu-NQR relaxation times, T1 and T2G, have been measured under high pressures up to 2.5 kbar at a temperature of 300 K for the plane Cu sites in the superconductor YBa2Cu4O8. It is found that both the relaxation times become longer for higher pressure, indicating that antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are decreased under pressure. The present result is consistent with the suggestion that a possible pressure dependence of the carrier density in the plane is the primary cause of the pressure dependence of Tc. (author)
