Abstract

⁶³Cu-NMR measurement has been performed to investigate the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism in a hybrid ruthenium (Ru)-copper (Cu) oxide superconductor RuSr₂YCu₂O₈ (RuY1212). Broadening of the Cu-NMR signal below T_M demonstrates that Cu nuclei in CuO₂ planes feel a dipolar field from ordered Ru moments in RuO₂ planes. On the other hand, the opening of the SC gap is confirmed from the observation of a decrease in the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, ⁶³1/T₁, below T_c^onset = 45 K. These NMR results provide evidence that the superconductivity coexists with the (field induced) ferromagnetism at a microscopic scale. We also found that the T dependence and the magnitude of 1/T₁T are quite similar to those in YBa₂Cu₃O₇ (Y1237), indicative of the same spin-fluctuation character in both compounds. This suggests that the hole content in RuY1212 is comparable to that in Y1237.
