Abstract

We report 63Cu(2) spin-lattice relaxation rate measurements of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.95} in magnetic fields from 2.1 T to 27.3 T obtained from 17O(2,3) nuclear magnetic resonance spin-spin relaxation. For T < 120 K, the spin-lattice rate increases with increasing magnetic field. We identify this magnetic field dependence with the change in the low-energy spectral weight originating from d-wave pairing fluctuation corrections to the density of states.
