Abstract

We report on structural, electrical and magnetic properties of RuSr2GdCu2O8 samples made by systematic synthesis work so that they differ from one onether in number of annealings and sintering temperature. Our aim is to highlight the different behaviours as a consequence of the thermal treatments. In particular, we deal with the onset of superconductivity in relation to the homogenisation process, and its influence on resistivity, structural and magnetic ordering. Finally, the problems related to the magnetic measurements due to the superimposition of different magnetic states are examined.
