63/65Cu- NQR Study of impurity-lnduced Magnetic Order in YBa2(Cu1-xMx)3O7 (M = Fe, Co)

Abstract
We have studied 63/65 Cu NQR at the Cu(l)-chain and Cu(2)-plane site of YBa2(Cu1-x Mx)3O7 (M = Fe, Co). The spin-lattice relaxation rate, T1 -1 , is enhanced at low temperatures and has in the Fe-system a peak at 2 and 4 K for x = 0.005 and 0.015, respectively. Below the peak temperatures the intensity of the Cu-NQR signal decreases rapidly. The results suggest that magnetic ordering of either Fe or Cu moments occurs without destroying the superconductivity below Tc on substituting Cu by magnetic ions.
