By measuring the energy of the effective Coulomb on-site repulsion and the spin excitations, we estimate superexchange and hopping matrix element energies along rungs and legs, respectively. Interestingly, hole doping locally screens the Coulomb on-site repulsion reducing it by as much as 25 %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %U <Go to ISI:>//WOS:000340034500009 %$ pmid:25148343 %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.067001 %U https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/206134
