We show that the synthesis conditions have a dramatic influence on the resistivity behavior of calcium and sodium doped LaMnO3. Several samples prepared by lowtemperature techniques exhibit a double-peaked curve of resistance versus temperature. The model of spin-polarized intergranular tunneling provides a good approach to discuss our experimental results. Grain size and crystallinity are proved to be essential parameters, which are strongly influenced by the preparation process (e.g. the precursors nature and the thermal treatment).

The magnetic anisotropy of rare-earth substituted 2212 materials (Bi2Sr2Ca0.8RE0.2Cu2Ox with RE = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er) is put into evidence. Superconducting powder dispersed in epoxy resin is oriented under an external magnetic field (4 T) in a direction that depends on the nature of the rare-earth used in the substitution. Both directions of observation (parallel or perpendicular to the field) were investigated. Splitting of (00l) peaks is neatly observed and discussed.
