Abstract

We report charge density measurements, using NMR, in the superconducting compound(CaxLa1−x)(Ba1.75−xLa0.25+x)Cu3Oy, which has two independent variables, x (family) and y (oxygen). For underdoped samples we find the rate at which holes are introduced into the plane upon oxygenation to be family independent. In contrast, not all carriers contribute to either antiferromagnetic or superconducting order parameters. This result is consistent with a two-fluid phenomenology or intrinsic mesoscopic inhomogeneities in the bulk. We also discuss the impact of weak chemical disorder on Tc.
