La-doping in epitaxial thin films of LaxSr2−xCrWO6 — •Robert Geißler, Petra Majewski, Stephan Geprägs, Andrea Boger, Andreas Erb, Matthias Opel, Lambert Alff, and Rudolf Gross — Walther-Meißner-Institut, Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Walther-Meißner-Str. 8, 85748 Garching
Ferromagnetic double perovskites show high Curie
temperatures TC up to 600 K. For the system Sr2FeMoO6
(TC ≈ 420 K), it was shown that electron doping via the substitution
of
Sr2+ by La3+ increases TC by about 80 K in
polycrystalline
samples [1]. For Sr2CrWO6, the synthesis of bulk samples of electron
doped LaxSr2−xCrWO6 is difficult because of the preferential
formation of LaCrO3. However, due to the non-equilibrium growth
conditions
in pulsed laser deposition (PLD), LaxSr2−xCrWO6 with x=0.5
could
be grown epitaxially on SrTiO3 substrates with good crystalline quality
[2].
Here we report on the properties of LaxSr2−xCrWO6 films with
various
doping concentrations x. Using in-situ RHEED, the layer-by-layer growth
mode
is confirmed. The epitaxial thin films are analyzed by HRXRD to examine the
crystalline quality and to exclude parasitic phases. A systematic increase
of
the c-axis with increasing doping has been found. The magnetic properties
have been measured up to 800 K using a SQUID magnetometer to determine the
doping dependence of the Curie temperature TC(x).
