Cover Story: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an important quantum probe for investigating the electronic properties of superconducting cuprates. Here, NMR data, including data from the literature accumulated over 40 years, are shown to indicate not just one, but two electronic spin components. This observation is rooted in the response of these materials to a magnetic field as measured at copper and oxygen sites in the CuO2 plane. These components are described in terms of two carriers associated with different orbital states involved in chemical bonding. The maximum critical temperature of superconductivity of one cuprate, as well as among different families, is related to these two components. This finding has broader implications for the understanding of cuprate superconductivity and shows that these materials must be examined collectively to fully understand their properties. View this paper
