摘要
Using static magnetic fields up to 30 T, the authors have measured the high-field magnetization in high-quality samples made from Re-based double perovskites: A(2)FeReO(6) (A(2) = Ca-2, Sr-2, BaSr) and Sr2CrReO6, with Curie temperatures ranging from 360 up to 610 K. The results indicate that the saturation magnetization in these compounds is higher than the assumed spin-only ionic values, 3 mu(B)/f.u. for A(2)FeReO(6) and 1 mu(B)/f.u. for Sr2CrReO6, which is explained by the large orbital contribution to the magnetization. Indirectly, these results show that Re-based double perovskites cannot be described as half- metals. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
