Abstract

Effects of oxygen deficiency on the spin dynamics of correlating Mn spins and quasiparticles are investigated by ESR of Mn2+ ions doped in YBa2Cu3O7-δ. The ESR linewidth for oxygen depleted sample increases linearly with temperature with smaller coefficient than oxygen rich sample, corresponding to reduced density of states (Korringa mechanism). The spectroscopic g factor tends to approach towards orthorhombic Cu2+ value of 2.1 from Mn2+ free ionic value of 2.0 along with oxygen reduction, suggesting tendency towards bottlenecking. The effective spins for the Mn2+ ions were observed to diminish exponentially at low temperatures with gap formation for spin excitation.
