Abstract

We report NMR measurements of the nuclear relaxation rate at all copper and oxygen sites in magnetically aligned powder samples of ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{7}$. Comparison of the oxygen and copper relaxation reveals a characteristic temperature greater than ${T}_{c}$. The copper relaxation rate is enhanced by antiferromagnetic copper spin fluctuations which are undiminished in the superconducting state. The absence of a coherence peak indicates that the superconductive pairing is not of the conventional BCS type.
