Abstract

The unrestricted Hartree-Fock cluster procedure is used to study the electronic structure of La2CuO4 and obtain the Cu63 quadrupole coupling constant and asymmetry parameter of 88.4 MHz and 0.04, respectively, in satisfactory agreement with experiment. A magnetic hyperfine field of 105.2 kG is obtained at the Cu63 nucleus, as compared to 78.78 kG from experiment. The effective charges on copper and oxygen ions and the mixing of copper and planar oxygen orbitals in the wave functions suggest significant covalent bonding between them. The magnetic moment on the copper ion is reduced by the influence of the covalency effect and will be compared with experiment.
