Sr₂FeMoO₆ is magneto resistance (MR) compound which has attracted much attention in the last years. Our work group has already studied this compound intensely[1,2]. Here we present the oxidation states of Fe and Mo and the presence of grain boundaries in the magneto resistance (MR) compound Sr₂FeMoO₆ by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Mössbauer spectroscopy. XPS of the Mo 3d and Fe 3s core levels is indicating a mixed valence state involving around 30% Fe³⁺- Mo⁵⁺ and 70% Fe²⁺- Mo⁶⁺ states. Mössbauer studies confirm the presence of a valence fluctuation state and an essential amount of grain boundaries in the present Sr₂FeMoO₆ crystal. The influence of the grain boundaries will be discussed.
