Magnetic moments of W 5d in Ca2CrWO6 and Sr2CrWO6 double perovskites
We have investigated the magnetic moment of the W ion in the ferrimagnetic
double perovskites Sr2CrWO6 and Ca2CrWO6 by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism
(XMCD) at the W L(2,3) edges. In both compounds a finite negative spin and
positive orbital magnetic moment was detected. The experimental results are in
good agreement with band-structure calculations for (Sr/Ca)2CrWO6 using the
full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. It is remarkable, that the
magnetic ordering temperature, TC, is correlated with the magnetic moment at
the 'non-magnetic' W atom.Comment: accepted for publicatio
