RESUMO
Zeeman perturbed nuclear quadrupole resonance was applied to evaluate weak magnetic fields in the context of orbital currents in cuprate superconductors. The magnetic environment of the barium atom in c-axis oriented powder samples of YBa(2)Cu(4)O(8) was investigated in the pseudogap phase at 90 K. No evidence for orbital currents was found: any static and dynamic field must be less than 0.07 and 0.7 mT, respectively.
