Abstract

The valence-band photoelectron spectra are interpreted within a Hubbard model. The 9.5-eV "mystery" peak in the photoelectron spectra for YBa2Cu3O7 is identified as arising from a state with two holes localized on nearest-neighbor oxygen atoms. Hubbard U parameters are obtained from the data and found to be larger than expected for metallic systems.
