NMR, neutron scattering, and the one-band model of La2xSrxCuO4

Abstract
NMR data on O17 and Cu63 in La1.85 Srx CuO4 are presented and agree well with published work. Relaxation curves for Cu63 and for both apical and planar O17 sites are compared with calculations based on parametrization of recent absolute neutron susceptibilities χ’ ’(q,ω). A reasonable accord is found with the Cu63 data. However, a significant discrepancy with the observed planar O17 relaxation behavior poses an apparent contradiction with the widely accepted one-band dynamical model for this system.
