20. The expected dipolar broadening from the nuclear Cu moments is an order of magnitude smaller than the observed linewidth.
21. We, however, allow for a small local doping distribution above y = 1. To do so in the following analysis, we extrapolate linearly the K values obtained between y = 0.95 and y = 1 up to y = 1.1, as observed in Hg compounds [18].
