We report the results from x-ray-absorption near-edge spectroscopy, electrical resistance, and thermopower measurements on RuSr 2 Gd 2 x Ce x Cu 2 O 1 0 + Φ . This compound displays the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetic order. Furthermore, there are systematic changes in the temperature dependence of the magnetization with increasing Ce concentration. However, we find from our study that the average Ru valence is 4.95′0.05 irrespective of the Ce concentration. This implies that there is no charge transfer to the RuO 2 layer with increasing Ce concentration. The nearly constant superconducting transition temperature for 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 0.8 indicates that there is also no significant charge transfer to the CuO 2 planes even though Ce 4 + is expected to decrease the hole concentration by 0.1. It is possible that the decrease in the hole concentration is compensated for by an increase in the oxygen content δ.
