Abstract
Incidence of doped holes in the CuO2 plane on the AF
state was studied by Cu(1) nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) in
slightly doped YBa2(Cu1-zLiz)3O6+x
compounds. Inhomogeneous distribution of doped holes in the plane
was detected in the low temperature measurements of transverse
(1/T2) and longitudinal (1/T1) relaxation rates. We establish
that at lower T the holes motion slows down and we estimate that
the holes localize finally in restricted regions ( lattice
constants) in the Coulomb potential of the Li+ ions. Also we
compared the hole behavior in slightly doped
YBa2(Cu1-zLiz)3O6+x
samples with that in slightly doped Y1-yCayBa2Cu3O6.
A stronger trapping potential of the in-plane Li+
impurities was concluded as compared to slightly doped
Y1-yCayBa2Cu3O6 compound with out-of-plane
Ca2+ impurities.
