Using magnetization measurements, we report the existence of an irreversibility in the magnetization in Y0.47Pr0.53Ba2Cu3O7-δ single crystals above the critical temperature (Tc = 13 K) that is visible up to 200 K. Magnetization in temperature displays irreversibility up to an applied field of 500 Oe. We noticed a weak irreversibility at high temperatures and a stronger one at low temperatures. In the weak irreversibility regime, both zero-field- and field-cooled magnetization follow similar Curie-Weiss (C-W) dependences, with slightly different parameters. The C-W parameters, decrease fast with increasing field. The C-W temperature is negative, suggesting that the average interaction between spins is antiferromagnetic. All these data suggest that the paramagnetic state is in fact a free spin liquid containing floating antiferromagnetic clusters as well as superconducting phase fluctuations.
