An YBCO sample is selected in which both metal Accepted 10 July 2015 to insulator transition and superconducting state exist in the different ranges of temperature. The Available online 13 July 2015 intergranular network of the bulk Y-123 has been modified by the inclusion of YMnO3 which has a well Communicated by V.M. Agranovich defined magnetic structure depending on temperature. The current–voltage measurements have been Keywords: carried out in pure Y-123 at several temperatures. At the same set of temperatures the current–voltage Superconductors curves in presence of YMnO3 have been studied. The role of the diluted spin magnetic ordering in tuning Kondo effect
