Abstract
We analyze anew experiments on the NMR in cuprates and find an
important information on their phase separation and its stripe
character hidden in the dependence of 1/63T1 on degree of
doping.
In a broad class of materials 1/63T1 is the sum of
two terms: the temperature independent one attributed to
"incommensurate" stripes that occur at external doping, and an
"universal" temperature dependent term ascribed to moving
metallic and antiferromagnetic sub-phases. We argue that the frustrated first
order phase transition in a broad temperature interval bears a
dynamical character.
