One of the early, central questions of cuprate high-temperature superconductivity was whether a single-fluid description of the electronic spin susceptibility was appropriate in explaining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experimental data. Recently, it has been shown that in the case of La_1.85Sr_0.1CuO₄ a single fluid picture is inappropriate and two components are necessary. Here, we present the results of ¹⁹⁹Hg and ⁶³Cu NMR study of two single crystals of hole doped high-temperature superconductor (HTS), HgBa₂CuO_4+δ an optimally doped and underdoped with T_c=97 K and T_c=74 K, respectively. Careful analysis of the temperature dependence of ¹⁹⁹Hg and ⁶³Cu shifts measured for two orientations of the crystal with respect to the external field shows that also in this system, which can be viewed as a model HTS, a single component scenario does not agree with experimental data.
