Popis: Polycrystalline samples with a nominal composition Ru 1-x Sb x Sr 2 GdCu 2 O 8-d were prepared by a solid state reaction technique. A mixture of RuO 2, Sb 2 O 3, Gd 2 O 3, SrCO 3 and CuO was used to obtain the samples. We performed X-ray diffraction analyses, DC susceptibility and transport measurements and the studies showed that the samples were almost pure Ru -1212 phase. We also observed that Sb doping reduce the conductivity of the system and the transition temperature decreases with increasing Sb content. This may be due to a distortion of RuO 6 octahedral which is responsible for the increase of holes localization.
