(Cu(1) NQR, Cu(2) Zero Field NMR and Tm NMR spin-lattice relaxation da
ta have been found quite different in the two AF states of the 123 com
pounds. In the usual AF-I phase of the pure compounds T-1 is short and
nearly T-independent at low T. With Ni or Co substitutions in the abo
ve by about 2% concentration, the Cu(2) bilayers are ordered ferromagn
etically with respect to each other (AF-II phase), which is evidenced
by a splitting of the Cull) NQR. In this case, T-1(-1) much smaller an
d exhibits a strong T dependence, which might be associated with a 5 K
gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum. We suggest that magnetic def
ects apparently unavoidable on the Cu(1) sites govern the spin dynamic
s. While they are frustrated in the ''pure samples'', they are not in
the AF-II phase, which suppresses partly their spin Fluctuations.
