Abstract

By pyrolysis of nitrate-organic mixtures, we synthesized double perovskite Sr2Fe0.6NbO5.4. We performed the study of the temperature dependencies of the EPR spectra, DC and AC magnetization, and magnetization isotherms in a wide temperature range of 4–300K. The EPR spectrum is described by the sum of two contributions below 125 K and indicates phase separation of the sample. The paramagnetic part of the inverse magnetic susceptibility is well approximated by the Curie–Weiss law with ΘCW≈−60K. The exchange integrals between iron spins, calculated from the temperature dependence of the ESR integral intensity and the Curie–Weiss temperature, coincide and are equal to J/kB≈10K. The negative sign of the Curie–Weiss temperature and the hysteresis loops indicate the antiferromagnetic canted nature of exchange interactions, which is further confirmed by the presence of a peak in the real part of the AC magnetization and its absence in the imaginary part.
