Abstract
We report NMR shift ΔK and data of taken from 77 to 300 K in for 0.35<x<1, from the insulating to the metallic state. A Korringa law and therefore a Fermi-liqud picture is found to apply for the spin part of ΔK. The spin contribution (x,T) to is singled out, as the T variation of ΔK scales linearly with the macroscopic susceptibility . This implies that Cu(3d) and O(2p) holes do not have independent degrees of freedom. Their hybridization, which has a σ character, hardly varies with doping. These results put severe constraints on theoretical models of high- cuprates.
