Abstract
A systamatic quantitative comparison of ''pseudogap'' values obtained from the analysis of charge and spin excitation spectroscopies in underdoped YBa2Cu3O7-x using a temperature-independent gap shows two distinct excitations, one visible in spin-flip spectroscopies like NMR and spin polarized neutron scattering, and the other in charge excitation spectoscopies like single particle tunneling and time-resolved quasiparticle relaxation. Both appear to decrease with doping x approximately as 1/x and are T-independent, existing above and below Tc. We suggest that the charge excitation can be attributed to a pair-breaking local gap, while the spin excitation can be explained by an intra-gap local triplet state.
