Abstract

We study the electronic and magnetic properties of ordered perovskites Sr 2FeMO6 (where M is a transition metal), among which some compounds, like Sr2FeMoO6 are half-metallic with high Curie temperature while Sr2FeWO6 is an antiferromagnetic insulator. Using a double exchange type model with an interaction between localized spins and conduction electrons together with a tight-binding Hamiltonian and the renormalized perturbation expansion method, we study the behavior of Tc as a function of the number of conduction electrons and also as a function of the Fe-M energy difference. We also consider the Sr2FeMoxW1-xO6 compounds which present a magnetic and metal-insulator transition as a function of doping.
