Abstract
A first-principles unrestricted Hartree-Fock cluster investigation has been carried out on the electronic structure of the YBa2Cu3O7 system. The results of this investigation provide satisfactory explanations of Cu63 and O17 nuclear-quadrupole-interaction data. The electron distributions obtained rule out the presence of Cu3+ ions and are supportive of the presence of Cu2+. Cu+, O2-, and O- ions with actual charges departing significantly from the formal charges, indicating the importance of covalency effects.
