Title: Metal valences in electron-doped (Sr,La){sub 2}FeTaO{sub 6} double perovskite: A {sup 57}Fe Moessbauer spectroscopy study

Abstract

Substitution of divalent Sr by trivalent La is found to affect the valence states of both of the two B-site cations, Fe and Ta, in the double perovskite oxide (Sr{sub 1-} {sub x} La {sub x} ){sub 2}FeTaO{sub 6}. Moreover, it improves the degree of order of these cations. From {sup 57}Fe Moessbauer spectra the average Fe valence was found to decrease with increasing La substitution level, x. However, the valence of Fe decreased less than expected if the valence of Ta was assumed to remain constant. Hence, we conclude that also the valence of Ta decreases. - Graphical abstract: Both the degree of order and the valence states of Fe and Ta are controlled in the (Sr{sub 1-} {sub x} La {sub x} ){sub 2}FeTaO{sub 6} double perovskite oxide through aliovalent La{sup III}-for-Sr{sup II} substitution.
