The EPR spectra of perovskite ceramics of Gd 0.5 RE 0.5 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ type (RE La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) in tetragonal (non‐HTC) phase are investigated as a function of temperature in the range 40 to 3 K. A signal arising from the isotropic exchange interaction of coupled pairs of Cu 2+ ions is detected. The intensity of this signal is strongly dependent on the RE ions and its g ‐factor varies with temperature. Magnetic measurements show the existence of ferromagnetic anomalies at these low temperature. In the orthorhombic phase, these materials exhibit a superconducting phase transition in the range of 85 to 95 K, apart from the samples with La ions where a T C ≈ 69 K is found and the samples with Prions where a superconducting state can not be observed.
