摘要
Samples with nominal compositions Ru1-xSnxSr2Gd1.4Ce0.6Cu0.6Oy (0 <= x <= 0.2) were synthesized and their superconducting and magnetic properties were investigated. A non-monotonic behaviour of the lattice parameters and T, with the increase of the dopant content was observed. It was established that small doping levels (O < x <= 0.05) significantly increase the T. of the Ru-1222 samples, prepared at the same conditions - from 20 K for the undoped sample to 35 K for the x = 0.03 one. The 0.1 <= x <= 0.2 samples are not superconducting, i.e. the Sn-doping more rapidly destroys the superconductivity in Ru- 1222 than in the conventional superconductors. The initial increase of T-c was associated with an increase of the hole concentration. The decrease of T-c and suppression of SC at higher doping levels may be explained by an enhanced disorder in the system, due to a possible presence of Sn in both Ru and Cu sites. The latter fact could also explain that the onset of the magnetic transition T-mag weakly depends on the dopant content. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
