Abstract
We present results of DC magnetization measurements in a number of samples (both polycrystalline and single crystal) of C15-Laves compound CeRu2 and 5 % Nd-doped CeRu2. In some of the samples there are evidences of spin-glass like behaviour in the normal state magnetic properties. However, such a beh aviour clearly appears to be sample dependent and not correlated with the a nomalous superconducting response of CeRu2. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
