摘要
We have studied the effect of cationic disorder on the spin polarization of the double perovskite system Sr2Fe1+x Mo1-x O-6 with -1 a parts per thousand currency sign x a parts per thousand currency sign 1/3. The composition x = 0 corresponds to the well-known double-perovskite Sr2FeMoO6, which is expected to have complete spin polarization, however all samples present some degree of Fe/Mo disorder which reduces the tunneling magnetoresistance in granular samples. We consider an electronic model within the renormalized perturbation expansion Green's functions, consisting in a correlated electron picture with localized Fe-ions and itinerant electrons interacting with the local spins via a double-exchange type mechanism. Our results show the influence of disorder on the density of states and the ground-state properties, particularly on the spin polarization over the whole range of x.
