We report on x-ray photoemission and absorption measurements on ruthocuprat
e and SrRuO3 samples. The ruthocuprates include samples that are both weak
ferromagnets and superconductors for part of the phase diagram. The results
indicate that adding hydrogen changes the many-body response on the CuO2 p
lanes. The results further indicate that ferromagnetic order alters the cor
e level states. We discuss implications of these data.
