Description

Some new members of a Ruthenocuprate (2212) series have been synthesized by Mn substitution for Ru in Gd1.4Ce0.6Sr2RuCu2O10 and well characterized by XRD. IR studies indicate a change in Ru mode implying substitution of Mn at Ru site. The pristine compound shows coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. In Gd1.4Ce0.6Sr2Ru0.7Mn0.3 Cu2O10 resistivity and a.c susceptibility studies indicate a semiconductor like upturn in resistivity and a suppression of the magnetic transition temperature as well as a smearing of the transition compared to the pristine compound. This might arise due to disorder introduced by Mn substitution in the RuO2 plane. (author)
