The oxygen deecient CuO x planes of the high-T c superconductors REBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+x (RE denotes a rare-earth atom or yttrium) are studied. Starting from the Emery model for the Cu-O chain fragments, an extended ASYNNNI model is proposed to describe the statistical mechanics of the CuO x planes. The model is analysed by using Monte Carlo techniques, computing especially the charge transfer to the...
