The double perovskite compound Sr2FeMoO6 has a half-metallic ferromagnetic character and a high Curie temperature (420 K). Fe-Mo usually present some degree of disorder in either Fe or Mo ions, it is therefore fundamental to understand the role of electronic and structural parameters controlling the half-metallic character together with a Curie temperature as high as possible. We replaced divalent Sr 2+ by trivalent La 3+ ions in Sr 2 FeMoO 6 system to observe the Curie temperature behavior. We present an electronic approach using the Green's functions and the renormalization perturbation expansion method, with localized Fe-spins and conduction Mo-electrons interacting with the local spins via a double-exchange-type mechanism. We also include the electronic correlations among the conduction electrons within a mean-field approximation. Our results show the density of states and the Curie temperature behavior when La concentration increases for the Sr 2−y La y FeMoO 6 system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
