Abstract

RuSr2_2GdCu2_2O8_8, in which magnetic order and superconductivity coexist with TMagneticT_{Magnetic}\ggTcT_c, is a complex material which poses new and important questions to our understanding of the interplay between magnetic and superconducting (SC) order. Resistivity, Hall effect and thermopower measurements on sintered ceramic RuSr2_2GdCu2_2O8_8 are presented, together with results on a broad range of substituted analogues. The Hall effect and thermopower both show anomalous decreases below TMagneticT_{Magnetic} which may be explained within a simple two-band model by a transition from localized to more itinerant behavior in the RuO2_2 layer at TMagneticT_{Magnetic}.
