Abstract

In a frame of the tJGt-J-G model we derive the microscopical expression for the circulating orbital currents in layered cuprates using the anomalous correlation functions. In agreement with μ\mu-on spin relaxation (μ\muSR), nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) and inelastic neutron scattering(INS) experiments in YBa2_2Cu3_3O6+x_{6+x} we successfully explain the order of magnitude and the monotonous increase of the {\it internal} magnetic fields resulting from these currents upon cooling. However, the jump in the intensity of the magnetic fields at Tc_c reported recently seems to indicate a non-mean-field feature in the coexistence of current and superconducting states and the deviation of the extended charge density wave vector instability from its commensurate value {\bf Q}(π,π\approx(\pi,\pi) in accordance with the reported topology of the Fermi surface.
