Magnetosuperconductivity in ruthenocuprates RuSr2GdCu2O8(Ru(13)

We reviewed our various results on rutheno-cuprate magneto-superconductors RuSr2GdCu2O8(Ru-1212) and RuSr2(Gd0.75Ce0.25)2Cu2O10(Ru-1222). It is observed, that it is difficult to control the oxygen content of Ru-1212, though the same is possible up to some

ferromagnetic behaviour. In fact no ZFC - FC branching is observed down to 5 K in 1,000 and 10,000 Oe fields where both the anomaly and the irreversibility in ZFC and FC branches look to be washed out, see inset in Fig. 10. The down-turn cusp at 85 K in low fields is indicative of antiferromagnetic or spin-glass nature of Ru spins. The FC curve is seen increasing or saturating due to the contribution from paramagnetic Gd spins.

same at higher fields.

To further elucidate the magnetic property of as-synthesised Ru-1222 we show its isothermal M-H behaviour at various temperatures in Fig. 11. The isothermal magnetization as a function of magnetic field may be viewed as previously given equation (1), where χH is the linear contribution from antiferromagnetic or spin-glass Ru spins and also from paramagnetic Gd spins, and σs(H) represents the ferromagnetic component of Ru spins. The appearance of the ferromagnetic component at low temperatures within antiferromagnetic/spin-glass Ru spins could happen due to a slight canting of the spins, as seen from neutron diffraction data for another similar magneto-superconducting Ru-1212 [6-9]. The contribution from the weak ferromagnetic component starts to appear below 150 K. At this temperature the M-H plot remains purely linear. The saturation of the isothermal
