In the present work, the magnetic properties of high-Tc Bi 1.7 Pb 0.3 Sr 2 Ca 2-x Sm x Cu 3 O 12 system (x = 0.03) have been investigated, for different temperatures below Tc. Substitution of Sm 3+ for Ca 2+ is found to change the superconducting properties of the system, despite the weak paramagnetic nature of the Sm 3+ ion. The dc magnetization measurements performed on the compound reveal that the superconducting regions decrease with increasing temperature and magnetic field. The results are explained on the basis of a possible reduction of hole concentration with trivalent rare-earth ion substitution, and also on the basis of the magnetic nature of the substituted Sm 3+ ions.
