Properties of the ferrimagnetic double-perovskite A_{2}FeReO_{6} (A=Ba and Ca)

Abstract

Ceramics of A_{2}FeReO_{6} double-perovskite have been prepared and studied for A=Ba and Ca. Ba_{2}FeReO_{6} has a cubic structure (Fm3m) with $a\approx$8.0854(1) Åwhereas Ca_{2}FeReO_{6} has a distorted monoclinic symmetry with $a\approx 5.396(1)\mathring{A},b\approx 5.522(1)\mathring{A},c\approx 7.688(2)\mathring{A}$ and $\beta =90.4^{\circ }(P21/n)$. The barium compound is metallic from 5 K to 385 K, i.e. no metal-insulator transition has been seen up to 385 K, and the calcium compound is semiconducting from 5 K to 385 K. Magnetization measurements show a ferrimagnetic behavior for both materials, with T_{c}=315 K for Ba_{2}FeReO_{6} and above 385 K for Ca_{2}FeReO_{6}. A specific heat measurement on the barium compound gave an electron density of states at the Fermi level, N(E_{F}) equal to 6.1$\times 10^{24}e{V}^{-1}mol{e}^{-1}$. At 5 K, we observed a negative magnetoresistance of 10 % in a magnetic field of 5 T, but only for Ba_{2}FeReO_{6}. Electrical, thermal and magnetic properties are discussed and compared to the analogous compounds Sr_{2}Fe(Mo,Re)O_{6}.
