Title: High-Pressure Synthesis of Double Perovskite Ba2NiIrO6: In Search of a Ferromagnetic Insulator

Abstract

Double perovskite oxides with d8–d3 electronic configurations are expected to be ferromagnetic from the Goodenough–Kanamori rules, such as ferromagnetic La2NiMnO6. In search of new ferromagnetic insulators, double perovskite Ba2NiIrO6 was successfully synthesized by high-pressure and high-temperature methods (8 GPa and 1573 K). Ba2NiIrO6 crystallizes in a cubic double perovskite structure (space group: Fm$$\bar3$$m), with an ordered arrangement of NiO6 and IrO6 octahedra. X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy confirms the nominal Ni(II) and Ir(VI) valence states. Ba2NiIrO6 displays an antiferromagnetic order at 51 K. The positive Weiss temperature, however, indicates that ferromagnetic interactions are dominant. Finally, isothermal magnetization curves at low temperatures support a field-induced spin–flop transition.
