  Effects of the magnetic impurity Ni on the Cu-spin dynamics and
superconductivity have been studied in La_2-x_Sr_x_Cu_1-y_Ni_y_O_4_ with x =
0.13 changing y finely up to 0.10. Compared with the case of the nonmagnetic
impurity Zn, it has been found from the muon-spin-relaxation measurements that
a large amount of Ni is required to stabilize a magnetic order of Cu spins.
However, the evolution toward the stabilization of the magnetic order with
increasing impurity concentration is qualitatively similar to each other. The
area of the non-superconducting and slowly fluctuating or static region of Cu
spins around Ni has been found to be smaller than that around Zn, suggesting
that the pinning of rather long-ranged dynamical spin correlation such as the
so-called dynamical stripe by Ni is weaker than that by Zn. This may be the
reason why Zn destroys the superconductivity in the hole-doped high-T_c_
cuprates more markedly than Ni.
