AbstractAbstract
[en] Electronic properties including magnetoresistance have been investigated for polycrystals of ordered double perovskite alloy, Sr2Fe(W1-xMox)O6. In this system, the ground state changes from an antiferromagnetic insulator to a ferromagnetic metal with increasing x. The magnetization in Sr2Fe(W1-xMox)O6 develops by the minimal substitution of W by Mo, and then the conductivity as well as the density of states at the Fermi level grows rapidly with x above 0.25. The present alloy also shows a variety of magnetoresistance behaviors. For example, Sr2Fe(W0.4Mo0.6)O6 (x=0.6) exhibits a magnetoresistance (MR) at 4.2 and 300 K as large as 69 and 10%, respectively. Furthermore, Sr2Fe(W0.85Mo0.15)O6 (x=0.15), located near the insulator-metal phase boundary, shows an extremely large magnetoresistance as large as 195% at 16 K. The low-field MR can be ascribed to a field suppression of the spin-dependent scattering at the grain or domain boundaries
