Abstract

The double perovskite oxide Ba 2FeMoO 6 has a cubic structure with a 0=8.0747 Å, whereas Sr 2FeMoO 6 has a tetragonal symmetry with a 0=5.5729 Å and c 0=7.9077 Å. The unit-cell parameters of the strontium compound increase linearly on increasing the temperature, and the crystal symmetry changes into cubic in the paramagnetic phase (above the Curie temperature T C). Magnetization measurements show a ferrimagnetic behavior for both materials, with T C=345 K for Ba 2FeMoO 6 and T C=425 K for Sr 2FeMoO 6, respectively. As the temperature increases toward T C, Mössbauer spectra show line broadening and 1, 6 and 3, 4 linewidth difference because of anisotropic hyperfine field fluctuation. Temperature dependence of anisotropy energy is calculated from the relaxation rate.
