We characterize the spontaneous magnetic field, and determine the associated temperature T(g), in the superconducting state of (Ca(x)La(1-x)) (Ba(1.75-x)La(0.25+x)) Cu(3)O(y) using zero and longitudinal field muon spin resonance measurements for various values of x and y. Our major findings are (i) T(g) and T(c) are controlled by the same energy scale, (ii) the phase separation between hole poor and hole rich regions is a microscopic one, and (iii) spontaneous magnetic fields appear gradually with no moment size evolution.
