Abstract

The purpose of this work is to establish the relation between the magnetic, electric, and magnetotransport properties and the oxygen nonstoichiometry of the compounds Ba2(FeMo)Ox (5.88 ≤ x ≤ 6.01). The investigations established the behavior of the magnetization, resistance, and magnetoresistance of samples in this series. It is shown that the behavior of the magnetization can be described by assuming that the iron ions become divalent (Fe3+→ Fe2+) as a result of the reduction of the samples and the molybdenum ions become hexavalent (Mo5+ → Mo6+) as a result the oxidation of the samples. It is established that there are two contributions to the magnetoresistance which arise as result of magnetic ordering of the intragranular interlayer and intergranular transfer of spin-polarized charge carriers. It is inferred that electric transport in samples of this series is determined by percolation processes between granules with metallic conductivity separated by a dielectric interlayers.
