We report synthesis and magnetization of Sr 2 RuREO 6 (RE/Ru-211O 6 ) with RE = Gd and Eu. Both Gd,Eu/Ru-211O 6 are formed in distorted perovskite-type single phase with monoclinic P2 1 /n space group. Magnetization (M/T) measurements exhibited antiferromagnetic ordering of Ru moments for both Gd and Eu compounds at T N of around 30 K due to superexchange Ru-O-O-Ru interaction. Interestingly enough, detailed M/H plots of Gd/Ru-211O 6 exhibited, the development of a ferromagnetic (FM) component at 20 K. Further at below 10 K, the FM component disappears and rather an spin freezing field (H SF ) of around 1000 Oe is seen at 5 K. In case of Eu/Ru-211O 6 , the basic antiferromagnetic ordering of Ru moments remains invariant down to 5 K, and the appearance of FM component is not seen. It seems that the high magnetic moment of 8µ B for Gd 3+ influences the AFM ordering of Ru in case of Gd/Ru-211O 6 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
