Abstract

Positive-muon spin-rotation and -relaxation measurements of the oxygen-deficient perovskite ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{x}}$ have revealed local antiferromagnetic order for 6.0\ensuremath{\lesssim}x\ensuremath{\lesssim}6.4 with a N\'eel temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}$ that decreases rapidly with increasing oxygen content x. For slowly annealed samples with 6.35\ensuremath{\lesssim}x\ensuremath{\lesssim}6.5 the superconducting transition temperature ${T}_{c}$ increases smoothly with x from 25 K at x=6.348 to 60 K at x=6.507. Two such samples with x=6.348 and x=6.400 appear to ``switch'' from superconductivity to antiferromagnetic order at lower temperatures.
