NMR line shape in anisotropic superconductors in a tilted magnetic field

Abstract

NMR line shape has been constructed for anisotropic type-II superconductors in tilted magnetic fields, with inclusion of vortex-lattice magnetic-field nonuniformities and of the skin effect near the superconductor surface. The NMR line shape parameters are shown to change considerably when the external magnetic field changes direction. This makes it possible to obtain more detailed information about the characteristics of a superconductor, in particular, its anisotropy parameter. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
