Resumo

In the search for new spintronic materials with high spin polarization at room temperature, we have synthesized an osmium-based double perovskite with a Curie temperature of $725\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. Our combined experimental results confirm the existence of a sizable induced magnetic moment at the Os site, supported by band-structure calculations, in agreement with a proposed kinetic-energy-driven mechanism of ferrimagnetism in these compounds. The intriguing property of ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}\mathrm{Cr}\mathrm{Os}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ is that it is at the end point of a metal-insulator transition due to $5d$ band filling and at the same time ferrimagnetism and high-spin polarization are preserved.
