X-ray magnetic circular dichroism study of Re 5d magnetism in Sr2CrReO6

Abstract

We have measured Re 5d spin and orbital magnetic moments in the ferrimagnetic double perovskite Sr2CrReO6 by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the L2,3 edges. In fair agreement with recent band-structure calculations [Vaitheeswaran et. al., Ref 1], at the Re site a large 5d spin magnetic moment of -0.68 muB and a considerable orbital moment of +0.25 muB have been detected. We found that the Curie temperature of the double perovskites A2BB'O6 scales with the spin magnetic moment of the 'non-magnetic' B' ion.
