Among the ferrimagnetic double perovskites in the compounds Sr2CrReO6 and Sr2CrWO6 high Curie temperatures well above room temperature have been found experimentally and half-metallicity (resp. pseudo-half-metallicity) was predicted by band-structure calculations. These strong ferromagnetic order can at least qualitatively be understood within a generalized double exchange or kinetic energy driven exchange model where the itinerant electrons mediate an antiferromagnetic alignment between the Cr or Fe and the W or Re moments.
We have measured Re and W 5d spin and orbital magnetic moments in the double perovskites Sr2CrReO6, Sr2CrWO6, and Sr2FeWO6 by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the L2,3 edges. Our results are in good agreement with recent band-structure calculations. We find that the Curie temperature in the double perovskites A2BB′O6 scales with the spin magnetic moment of the ’non-magnetic’ B′ ion. This work was supported by the DFG (GR 1132/13), the BMBF (project no. 13N8279), and the ESRF (HE-1658, HE-1882).
