Abstract

The electron-spin resonance (ESR) of pure and Ag-, Eu-, and Gd-doped YBa2Cu3O7−δ are measured at temperatures above and below the transition temperature Tc. The ESR signals are speculated to be due to electrons in the & levels of the Cu2+ ions hybridized with the oxygen 2p electrons in the tetragonal CuO42+ structure above the quasi Fermi level which lies at the middle of the Mott-Hubbard gap. For the pure orthorhombic structure or properly doped impure structures, the ESR signals disappear even at T>Tc, implying a net spin S=0 due to the super exchange force of the Cu2+ ions through the intermediate oxygen atoms.
