X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS) Ru L-edge and O K-edge measurements on single crystals of Sr2YRu1-xCuxO6 (x=0.01-0.05) solid solutions show that Cu replaces Ru in the lattice which results in a lattice distortion and itinerant holes that increase with increasing x. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements confirm the lattice distortion through changes in the lattice parameters. Magnetic measurements reveal an antiferromagnetic transition at 32 K in the crystals with x=0 and a diamagnetic transition at 32 K for x \geq 0.01indicative of superconductivity in the zero field cooled (ZFC) curves. The field cooled (FC) curves show a weak ferromagnetic character with x=0 and a ferromagnetic transition at 30 K and an antiferromagnetic transition at 23 K in the presence of Cu. The peak at 30 K in the ac susceptibility measurements indicates a spin-glass behavior. The low field part of the M-H curve for x=0.05 crystal indicates weak superconductivity. The shifting of the M-H curve on FC indicates spin-glass state. In conjunction with the XAS results the magnetic behavior is explained in terms of a spontaneous vortex state as a result of the non-freezing Ru5+ spins.
