The magnetic superconductor RuSr 2 Gd 1.4 Ce 0.6 Cu 2 O 10- δ was studied by means of detailed magnetization measurements in order to clarify its complex magnetic and superconducting properties. Our experiments agree with a model indicating that the in-plane component of the Ru moment might transfor...
