Abstract
The Zn substitution on Cu(2) sites in YBa2(Cu1-yZny)3O6+x materials is most probably limited to yzn ≈ 0.04. Results of neutron diffraction associated with NMR and μ+SR results reveal ; i) a lowering of TN in the pure AF region x≤0.20 due to a dilution effect of the antiferromagnetic lattice by a static non magnetic impurity, ii) the existence of a non conventionnal magnetic behavior within the intermediate region x≥0.35 characterized by an unusual temperature dependance of magnetic intensities, a reentrancy and the existence of diffuse magnetic scattering (this region is much broader in oxygen composition for Zn-doped than for pure YBCO),iii) an unusual spin dynamics in the "doped A-F phase" which corresponds to a coupling of magnetic excitations to the hole dynamics.
