摘要
We use quantum oscillation measurements to distinguish between spin and orbital components of the lowest energy quasiparticle excitations in YBa2Cu3O6.54, each of which couple differently to a magnetic field. Our measurements reveal the phase of the observed quantum oscillations to remain uninverted over a wide angular range, indicating that the twofold spin degeneracy of the Landau levels is virtually unaltered by the magnetic field. The inferred suppression of the spin degrees of freedom indicates a spin-density wave is responsible for creation of the small Fermi surface pockets in underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+x-further suggesting that excitations of this phase are important contributors to the unconventional superconducting pairing mechanism.
