Possible origin of d.c. magnetization anomalies in the superconducting state of RuSr₂GdCu₂O₈ — •Thomas P. Papageorgiou¹, Hans F. Braun¹, and Thomas Herrmannsdörfer² — ¹Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth — ²Forschungszentrum Rossendorf, 01314 Dresden

The d.c. magnetization of polycrystalline RuSr₂GdCu₂O₈ (Ru-1212) showed distinct peaks in the superconducting state of the sample. Sr₂GdRuO₆ (Sr-2116), the precursor for the preparation of Ru-1212, shows similar peaks in the same temperature regime. Nevertheless, based on measurements performed on powdered samples of Ru-1212 and Sr-2116, we exclude the possibility that the observed behavior of the magnetization of Ru-1212 is due to Sr-2116 impurities. We propose a qualitative model for the explanation of the origin of the Ru-1212 peaks, assuming the existence of regions with different superconducting transition temperatures in the sample, which accounts for much of the experimental data.
