Cu(2) nuclear resonance evidence for an original magnetic phase in aged 60K-superconductors RBa2Cu3O6+x (R=Tm,Y)

It is widely believed that the long-range antiferromagnetic order in the RBa2Cu3O6+x compounds (R=Y and rare earths except of Ce, Pr, Tb) is totally suppressed for the oxygen index x>0.4 (AFM insulator-metal transition). We present the results of the copper NQR/NMR studies of aged RBa2Cu3O6+x (R=Tm,Y) samples showing that a magnetic order can still be present at oxygen contents x up to at least 0.7 and at temperatures as high as 77K.
