Abstract
The electric field gradients at the oxygen ion sites in YBa 2Cu 3O 7 are calculated as a sum of ionic, overlap, and valence terms using a semiemoirical model in which the O ion holes that determine the valence terms are the principal adjustable parameters. Good fits to the experimental results are obtained for reasonable values of fractional hole character in O 2pσ orbitals only.
