We report on muon spin rotation measurements of the internal magnetic field distribution n(B) in the vortex solid phase of YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) single crystals, from which we have simultaneously determined the hole doping dependences of the in-plane Ginzburg-Landau (GL) length scales in the underdoped regime. We find that Tc has a sublinear dependence on 1/lambda_{ab}^2, where lambda_{ab} is the in-plane magnetic penetration depth in the extrapolated limits T -> 0 and H -> 0. The power coefficient of the sublinear dependence is close to that determined in severely underdoped YBCO thin films, indicating that the same relationship between Tc and the superfluid density is maintained throughout the underdoped regime. The in-plane GL coherence length (vortex core size) is found to increase with decreasing hole doping concentration, and exhibit a field dependence that is explained by proximity-induced superconductivity on the CuO chains. Both the magnetic penetration depth and the vortex core size are enhanced near 1/8 hole doping, supporting the belief by some that stripe correlations are a universal property of high-Tc cuprates.
