Abstract

Using elastic neutron scattering, we evidence a commensurate antiferromagnetic Cu(2) order (AF) in the superconducting (SC) high-Tc\rm T_c cuprate YBa2(Cu1yCoy)3O7+δ\rm YBa_2(Cu_{1-y}Co_y)_3O_{7+\delta} (y=0.013, Tc\rm T_c=93 K). As in the Co-free system, the spin excitation spectrum is dominated by a magnetic resonance peak at 41 meV but with a reduced spectral weight. The substitution of Co thus leads to a state where AF and SC cohabit showing that the CuO2_2 plane is a highly antiferromagnetically polarizable medium even for a sample where Tc_c remains optimum.
