Narrow Results

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of (Ru_1-xSn_x)Sr₂EuCeCu₂O_z and Ru(Sr_2-xLa_x)EuCeCu₂O_z(0≤x≤0.1) samples have been investigated to shed light on the doping-induced changes in the magnetic properties of Ru-1222 system. We show that La substitution for Sr leads to an increase in the temperature where the ferromagnetic component is observed and a moderate suppression of the ferromagnetic component whereas Sn substitution for Ru results in a significant decrease of the volume fraction of the ferromagnetic phase as well as a decrease in the magnetic ordering temperature. The experimental results are discussed in connection with the structural data studied by Rietveld refinement of the x-ray diffraction data.
