Crystal and Magnetic Structure of Conducting Double Perovskite Sr2FeMoO6

Abstract
We have investigated, crystal and magnetic structure of conducting double perovskite transition metal oxide, Sr 2 FeMoO 6 , which has been grown by the floating-zone method. The resisitvity shows T 2 -dependence in a wide temperature range (50–350 K), perhaps due to magnon scattering. We further have determined the crystal and magnetic structure in the ferrimagnetic state by means of synchrotron radiation X-ray powder measurements as well as neutron powder diffraction experiments.
