Zero field muon spin relaxation (ZF-μSR) has been used to study the magnetic properties of the underdoped giant magnetoresistive ruthenocuprates RuSr 2 Nd 1.8− x Y 0.2 Ce x Cu 2 O 10− δ (x= 0.95, 0.80). The magnetoresistance (MR) is defined so that MR=((ρ H− ρ 0)/ρ 0) and the giant magnetoresistive ruthenocuprates RuSr 2 Nd 1.8− x Y 0.2 Ce x Cu 2 O 10− δ exhibit a large reduction in electronic resistivity upon application of a magnetic field. The ZF-μSR results show a gradual loss of initial asymmetry A 0 at the ruthenium spin transition temperature, T Ru. At the same time the electronic relaxation rate, λ, shows a gradual increase with decreasing temperature below T Ru. These results have been interpreted as evidence for Cu spin cluster formation below T Ru. These magnetically ordered clusters grow as the temperature is decreased thus causing the initial asymmetry to decrease slowly. Giant magnetoresistance is observed over a wide temperature range in the materials studied and the magnitude increases as the temperature is reduced from T Ru to 4 K which suggests a relation between Cu spin cluster size and|− MR|.
