Abstract

We report on the properties of new ruthenocuprates Ru1−xSr2GdCu2+xO8−y (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.75) that extend the superconductivity found previously in RuSr2GdCu2O8(Tc=45K) to the solid solution with varied Ru/Cu ratios. The compounds have been synthesized in a high-pressure oxygen atmosphere. The maximum temperature of the superconducting transition is 72 K for the x=0.3 and 0.4 compositions. The reported behavior of magnetization at low temperatures can be qualitatively explained assuming a quasi-two-dimensional character of the superconducting regions in the compounds studied.
