Abstract
Copper nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and zero field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZFNMR) studies of YBa2Cu3O6.5 show that a magnetic phase appears in underdoped 123 superconductors treated in ambient wet air. The studies give convincing evidence that the ``empty'' CuO chains play the role of easy water insertion channels. The reaction occurs first in ordered regions of the crystallites. The final product of the reaction is a non-superconducting antiferromagnetic compound characterized by at least two types of magnetically ordered copper ions with ZFNMR spectra respectively in the frequency ranges of 46-96 and 96-135 MHz respectively. Even for powder samples fixed in an epoxy resin, the reaction is found to occur partly after a few years.
