The authors report Cu NMR studies in the normal state of a single crystal of the T/sub c/ = 90 K superconductor YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/minus/delta/. The authors have measured the magnetic shift tensor, the electric field gradient tensor, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate tensor, and the time dependence and functional form of the transverse decay. From these data they obtain information about the charge state and magnetic state of the Cu atoms, and the existence and size of the electronic exchange coupling between spins of adjacent Cu atoms. 18 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
