Magnetic interactions in rhenium-containing rare earth double perovskites Sr{sub 2}LnReO{sub 6} (Ln=rare earths)
The perovskite-type compounds containing both rare earth and rhenium Sr{sub 2}LnReO{sub 6} (Ln=Y, Tb-Lu) have been prepared. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements and Rietveld analysis show that Ln{sup 3+} and Re{sup 5+} ions are structurally ordered at the B site of the perovskite SrBO{sub 3}. Magnetic anomalies are found in their magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements at 2.6–20 K for Ln=Y, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu compounds. They are due to magnetic interactions between Re{sup 5+} ions. The results of the magnetic hysteresis and remnant magnetization measurements for Sr{sub 2}YReO{sub 6} and Sr{sub 2}LuReO{sub 6} indicate that the antiferromagnetic interactions between Re{sup 5+} ions below transition temperatures have a weak ferromagnetic component. The analysis of the magnetic specific heat data for Sr{sub 2}YbReO{sub 6} shows that both the Yb{sup 3+} and Re{sup 5+} ions magnetically order at 20 K. For the case of Sr{sub 2}DyReO{sub 6}, magnetic ordering of the Re{sup 5+} moments occurs at 93 K, and with decreasing temperature, the moments of Dy{sup 3+} ferromagnetically order at 5 K from the measurements of magnetic susceptibility and specific heat. - Graphical abstract: Crystal structure of double perovskite Sr{sub 2}LnReO{sub 6}. Red and black lines show cubic and monoclinic unit cells, respectively. - Highlights: • Double perovskites Sr{sub 2}LnReO{sub 6} (Ln=rare earths) were prepared. • They show an antiferromagnetic transition at 2.6–20 K. • In Sr{sub 2}DyReO{sub 6}, Dy and Re moments magnetically order at 5 and 93 K, respectively.
