It was predicted that the electrical conductivity of the ferromagnetic double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 (space group 4I/mmm, TC ≈ 420 K) is intrinsically two-dimensional due to the symmetry of the involved oxygen orbitals and can be varied by pressure [1]. The related material Sr2CrWO6 (Fm3m, TC ≈ 460 K) has similar electronic structure. We have prepared coherently strained thin films of Sr2CrWO6 in an UHV-system by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Due to the small but finite lattice mismatch to the substrate (SrTiO3) the films grow in 4I/mmm-symmetry. The electrical transport properties of Sr2CrWO6 can be studied by introducing a thin, insulating NdGaO3 buffer layer between the substrate and the double perovskite. High-resolution four circle X-ray diffractometry shows a FWHM below 0.04∘ for the rocking curves of the (004)-film peaks. Electrical transport measurements were performed in and out of plane from 25 K to 300 K. We detect a strong anisotropic behavior in the current-voltage characteristics (IVC): while the in-plane IVCs are ohmic over the whole temperature range, the c-axis transport shows a pronounced non-linear behavior.
