Disorder-Induced Griffiths like Phase and Charge Localization in Sr2FeRuO6
Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of complex transition-metal oxides is key to designing next-generation spintronic materials with tailored magnetic and transport functionalities. We investigate the interplay among structural disorder, frustrated magnetism, and localized charge transport in the 3d-4d hybrid double perovskite Sr2FeRuO6. The compound adopts a monoclinic structure with significant B-site antisite disorder that drives its unconventional behavior. Magnetic measurements uncover a robust Griffiths phase extending well above the ordering temperature, evidencing stable short-range ferromagnetic clusters within a disordered matrix. Electrical transport remains strongly localized, transitioning from small-polaron hopping at high temperatures to variable-range hopping at intermediate temperatures. These results position Sr2FeRuO6 as a representative 3d-4d hybrid system in which quenched disorder stabilizes spin inhomogeneity, while polaronic and hopping transport are also observed.
